Why go electric?
*The EPA has shown that leaf blowers and other gas powered lawn and garden equipment expose workers and the public to high levels of toxic and carcinogenic emissions such as benzene, butadiene, formaldehyde and fine particulates.
*Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to the dust and toxic emissions created by gas blowers. Animals, pets and wildlife are also vulnerable to the dust, fine particulates and extreme noise.
*The American Lung Association, American Heart Association, World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention all report on the dangerous health risks associated with exposure to these types of emissions including cancer, lung disease, respiratory illnesses and dementia.
*Gas blowers produce high levels of noise which have been shown to pose serious health risks including hearing loss, hypertension and productivity loss.
