Volvo actually had some coating on their radiators that converted ozone to oxygen. Not sure if they still have it.

Some years ago when the government was mandating production of "zero pollution" vehicles, Honda built a negative pollution vehicle that runs on common gasoline, and you wouldn't know it from any other gasoline powered car.  They put catalyst plating on the outside of the cooling radiator.  The radiator then removed more pollutants from the ambient air than the car was emitting from the tail pipe, thus making it a negative pollution vehicle, actually cleaning the air as you drove.

Ignoring negative emissions of the catalytic radiator, is just as stupid as ignoring positive emissions of coal fired electric power plants.
