The catalyst removes the gaseous pollutants and now also solids such as particulates from the exhaust gas flow. The well-known three-way conversion catalyst—in use in North America since 1976 and in Europe since 1986—is now capable of removing considerably more than 95% of the undesired substances from the exhaust gas flow.
