Might be a fire hazard on lawn mowers. Those catalytic converters are
quite hot. Still, lawn mowers are quite dirty by today's standards.

"The 20,000,000 small engines sold in the U.S. each year contribute about
one tenth of the total U.S. mobile source hydrocarbon emissions, and are
the largest single contributor to these non-road emissions."

I seen a house burned to the ground because they were having a family
reunion and parked in the grass. One parked in the deep grass and
caught it on fire.

The first Cat's ran really hot, and started a lot of fires. They found out
that they worked just as well running a lot less temperature. The newer
ones run a lot cooler.

Check this out. You may have to retrofit your current lawnmower with a
catalytic converter.
