Subject | All small off-road engines sold in CA should be zero emission. |
Comment | Dear California Air Resources Board (CARB), Ensure that 100% of leaf blowers, lawn mowers, weed wackers and other "Small Off-Road Engines" (SOREs) sold in the state are zero emission. Please pass the proposed Small Off-Road Engine Regulation to end the sale of polluting lawn and garden equipment. Polluting smoke in air Message CARB Now The use of gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers can cause numerous health problems and contributes to poor air quality. California consistently fails to meet national air quality standards, which means millions of Californians breathe unhealthy air everyday. California's communities and environment deserve better. To ensure that all communities have breathable air in the state, CARB must require 100% of the SOREs sold in California to be zero emission. CARB's public health benefit analysis determined that these new regulations, if adopted, will result in: $8.8 billion in health insurance benefits through 2043 892 premature deaths avoided 438 fewer emergency room visits for asthma 311 fewer hospitalizations for respiratory and cardiovascular issues Sincerely, J. Barry Gurdin, Ph.D. |
