TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Catalytic converters for exhaust emission control of commercial equipment powered by internal combustion engines JO - Environmental health perspectives A1 - Cohn, J. G. SP - 159 EP - 164 VL - 10 IS - N2 - The development of PTX, monolithic catalytic exhaust purifiers, is outlined, and their first use for exhaust emissions control of commercial equipment is described. The main use of PTX converters is on forklift trucks. The purification achievable with PTX-equipped fork-lift trucks under various operational conditions is discussed, and examples from the field are given. During more than ten years of operation, no adverse health effects have been reported, and PTX-equipped internal combustion engines appear safe for use in confined areas.
