Which outcome occurs when an auto-exhaust catalyst degrades?

💡 Explanation

Increased hydrocarbon and CO emissions occur because catalyst degradation reduces the surface area for catalytic activity. This reduces catalytic oxidation effectiveness, therefore leading to more uncombusted pollutants, rather than decreased NOx (due to altered reduction capability).
