Abstract
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), diesel, and petrol are utilized in large numbers as energy sources for various vehicles in Afghanistan. Vehicles running on LPG are increasingly the primary source of ambient volatile organic compounds. Long-term observations revealed that the catalytic converter was quite effective in reducing the levels of nitric oxide (NO), NOx, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) linked to LPG in the air. Catalytic materials are used in car silencers to stop dangerous compounds from burning fuels in engines that cause air pollution, which poses a threat to human health. The role of car silencers is very important to the cleanliness of the environment because these silencers can protect the environment from harmful gases or change more harmful gases into less harmful gases. Those silencers that do not have a catalytic converter in them cause air pollution. Afghanistan's influence is spreading globally, releasing harmful gases into the atmosphere. To reduce these, transport equipment silencers are needed. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and partially burned hydrocarbon components can be converted into less harmful substances. Catalysts aim to reduce toxic gases, such as volatile organic hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides that are created when fossil fuels are not burned completely.
