Which risk increases when a catalytic converter reaches equilibrium?

💡 Explanation

A catalytic converter relies on Le Chatelier's principle to shift equilibrium towards products; however, at equilibrium, forward and reverse reaction rates equalize, because product formation matches decomposition. Therefore, pollutant removal decreases, rather than favoring harmful byproducts or catalyst degradation.
