Which risk increases when a catalytic converter's support material fractures?

💡 Explanation

Lower surface area arises because fracturing reduces exposure; therefore, catalytic conversion becomes incomplete rather than improving, because the active sites per unit volume decrease due to decreased effective dispersion related to decreased active surface area.
