Pełny opis

Every night in cities across the globe, an invisible army of thieves slides under parked cars with battery-powered saws. Their target is not the vehicle itself, but a drab metal canister containing a few grams of a substance vastly more expensive than gold.The catalytic converter crisis is driven by rhodium, a phenomenally rare precious metal that cleans exhaust emissions. This investigation exposes the brutal, highly organized black market that connects midnight street thefts to international scrap metal syndicates and global environmental regulations.You will follow the supply chain in reverse, from the desperate addicts harvesting converters in suburban driveways to the shadow refineries extracting the precious dust. It reveals how strict emissions standards inadvertently created an illicit micro-economy that police forces are entirely unequipped to handle.Step into the gritty intersection of environmental policy and urban crime. Read this book to decode the violent underground economy fueled by the world's most unassuming precious metal.
