Best Answer

catalytic converters are used to change the emissions of a car from carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, basically it makes fumes safer but adds to climate change. It also changes oxides of nitrogen (NoX) to safer molecules, and uses up any left over hyrdocarbons.(HC).
It is used to reduce harmful emissions from the exhaust system.
