Which process impairs catalytic converter effectiveness in vehicular exhaust systems?

💡 Explanation

Catalyst poisoning diminishes surface activity because reaction sites are blocked inhibiting oxidation and reduction, therefore weakening the converter's efficiency; rather than other thermal or combustion issues which have distinct root causes.
