Which outcome results when a catalytic converter operates sub-optimally?

💡 Explanation

Increased uncombusted hydrocarbons result because catalyst poisoning reduces the surface area of catalytic δ-alumina using reactive sites promoting oxidation. Therefore, incomplete conversion of fuel increases hydrocarbon emissions, rather than lowering emissions as is usually the case with a functional catalytic converter.
