To decrease the rate of pollution

Answer 2

Answer:

Lead in petrol can deactivate the catalyst, in the vehicles that are equipped with catalytic converters. The catalyst helps a lot in reducing the emission of poisonous gases into the environment since these devices are equipped with expensive metals like platinum, palladium and rhodium as catalysts. Thus we can reduce pollution levels.
