Hydrocarbons
Chemical
compounds that contain only the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). A variety of hydrocarbons comprise the
energy-rich mixture in gasoline or diesel fuel. Upon combustion of these fuels, there
is a residue of hydrocarbon emissions. These emissions pose
a threat to people and the environment at large and are subject
to statutory controls. They are almost completely eliminated
in a catalytic converter.
