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.
