Which risk increases when an automotive catalytic converter reaches end-of-life?

💡 Explanation

Increased atmospheric nitrous oxide emissions occur, because catalyst deactivation inhibits redox reactions (Reductants Oxidation), therefore N₂ formation diminishes rather than N₂O, since the metal active sites are poisoned.
