Leaf Blowers Reduce Emissions and Improve Health of Lawncare Workers

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
In one year, the average blower emits as much pollution as 80 new cars, each driven 12,500 miles. In contrast, the STIHL model leafblowers are nearly four times cleaner than the California Air Resources Board's standard for new blowers. Exchanging 1,500 older blowers will reduce nearly 14 tons of smog-forming pollution a year. Replacing leaf blowers with new models designed for emissions-friendly, quieter operations will help protect residents’ and gardeners’ health by reducing harmful emissions.
