Abstract :
The emission of pollutants from vehicles is generally low, but the number of vehicles on the road increases, so the environmental pollution also increases. About 35% of CO, 30% of HC and 25% of NOx produced in the atmosphere are from the transportation sector. These pollutants have adverse effects on the environment and human health. Greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles generally depend on the air-to-fuel ratio. Control techniques for exhaust emissions include engine modifications, fuel pretreatment, fuel additives, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), positive crankcase ventilation (PCV), and the use of catalytic converters. A catalytic converter is a device that converts more toxic exhaust gases into less toxic pollutants. There are different types of catalysts used in the purification of car exhaust gases, such as catalysts of noble metals and basic metals, etc. The catalytic converter was effective and compatible in reducing harmful exhaust gas emissions so that it can be used in trucks, buses, cars, motorcycles and other equipped constructions. This article will discuss various types of recent advances in catalysts for controlling vehicle exhaust pollution.

Automobile pollution control using catalysis
Abstract
The emissions of pollutants from vehicles are generally low but the numbers of vehicles increasing on the road therefore the environmental pollutions are also increases. About 35% of CO, 30% of HC and 25% percent of NOx produced into the atmosphere is from the transportation sector. These pollutants have adverse effects on the environment and human health. The emissions from vehicles are generally depends upon the air–fuel ratio. The control techniques for exhaust gas emissions are engine modifications, fuel pretreatment, fuel additives, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) and an application of catalytic converters. A catalytic converter is a device that converts more toxic exhaust gas pollutants into less toxic pollutants. There are different types of catalysts used in the automobile exhaust gas treatment like noble metal and base metals catalysts etc. The catalytic converter was effective and consistent for reducing the noxious tailpipe emissions so that it was developed for use in the trucks, buses, cars, motorcycles and other construction equipped. This paper will discuss about the different types of recent developments in catalysis for automobile exhaust pollution control.

Automobile pollution control using catalysis
Abstract
The emissions of pollutants from vehicles are generally low but the numbers of vehicles increasing on the road therefore the environmental pollutions are also increases. About 35% of CO, 30% of HC and 25% percent of NOx produced into the atmosphere is from the transportation sector. These pollutants have adverse effects on the environment and human health. The emissions from vehicles are generally depends upon the air–fuel ratio. The control techniques for exhaust gas emissions are engine modifications, fuel pretreatment, fuel additives, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) and an application of catalytic converters. A catalytic converter is a device that converts more toxic exhaust gas pollutants into less toxic pollutants. There are different types of catalysts used in the automobile exhaust gas treatment like noble metal and base metals catalysts etc. The catalytic converter was effective and consistent for reducing the noxious tailpipe emissions so that it was developed for use in the trucks, buses, cars, motorcycles and other construction equipped. This paper will discuss about the different types of recent developments in catalysis for automobile exhaust pollution control.
