Our technologies are making the worlda cleaner, healthier place, and improving people s lives every on and be inspired by the positive impacts of our science today and its potential for the future Our catalysts stop around 20 million tonnesof pollutants in their tracks every year a breath of fresh air for people all over the AirOne in every three new cars carries an emission control catalystfrom Johnson Matthey.
10 That s millions of cars. Toxic carbonmonoxide and unburned hydrocarbons go into the catalyst,cleaner air comes out. With our deep understanding, at theatomic scale, of the distribution of platinum, palladium andrhodium in our catalysts, we re also able to minimise theamounts of precious metal required to do the vision is for a world that scleaner and healthier; todayand for future use science to create innovative the Remedy Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are the constituents of pills and other medications that do all the work, whether it sattacking cancer cells, regulating a heartbeat or combating severepain.
