Emission Control Device

An emission control device is a component installed in a vehicle's exhaust system designed to reduce harmful pollutants released into the air. These devices, such as catalytic converters and mufflers, work by converting or capturing pollutants like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and unburned hydrocarbons, turning some into less harmful substances or trapping them before they leave the tailpipe. Their purpose is to help meet environmental standards, improve air quality, and ensure vehicles run cleaner and more efficiently while maintaining optimal engine performance.
