Although they would require very small amounts (I think). I am pretty sure catalytic converters in cars and other industrial devices use tiny amounts of Pt, and they aren't a real cost burden.
- antiismist 18y agoActually, catalytic converters are pretty expensive, and their theft is on the rise. I know someone who had his car stolen in Oakland. The police found the car, but the catalytic converter was sawed off. Supposedly they run a couple hundred $ minimum. * http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/29/us/29converters.html http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/29/us/29converters.html
- michaelneale 18y agoWould like to read that article, but its probably a few bits of anecdotal evidence spun into a trend and story. Also I am lazy and forgot my NYT password.
