Expanded Information

Using unleaded gasoline can effectively control harmful substances in automobile exhaust and reduce pollution such as hydrocarbons (HC causes smog), carbon monoxide (CO is poisonous), and nitrogen oxides (NOx forms acid rain).

To reduce emissions the most effective and easiest way is to install catalytic converters in the exhaust system, and gasoline lead content of more than 0.013 grams per liter will make the catalyst failure, so as not to achieve the purpose of controlling the car exhaust. This critical mass is the standard for defining unleaded gasoline.
