Did you ever wonder what your Geo Prizm Catalytic Converter actually does? Simply put, it coverts the harmful compounds from the exhaust in your vehicle into harmless compounds before they reach the air. It removes pollutants such as carbon monoxide (which forms from gas combustion), hydrocarbons (which is basically unburned gasoline) and nitrogen oxides (which is formed from the heat of the engine forces nitrogen in the air so it can combine with oxygen). Now, in order for your vehicle to run, all of these compounds are needed.

But as the concern for our ozone grew, car companies had to figure out how deal with the threat that these pollutants cause. Carbon monoxide is deadly to breathe in, hydrocarbons are known to cause smog and nitrogen oxides can cause everything from smog to acid rain.

So, parts like your Geo Prizm Catalytic Converter were put into vehicles to combat these serious problems. In fact, a law was passed in the 1980's that required all new vehicles to have one. It works by converting the carbon monoxide into the less dangerous carbon dioxide, it changes the hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water and it treats the nitrogen oxides by separating them back into oxygen and nitrogen. Since all of the gases that are eventually released after the conversion process are already found in the air, it has less affect than if the original harmful pollutants were allowed to be let out.
