Abstract
The increase in pollutants caused by the ever rising number of automobiles pushes up overall pollution levels and affects vegetation, soils and water bodies. Although the introduction of three-way catalysts triggered an enormous reduction of gaseous (traffic) emissions like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides, the automotive exhaust containing noble metals still lead to a strong augmentation of previously low level concentrations of the platinum group elements in the respective environmental matrices.
