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. CARB must require 100% of the SOREs sold in
California to be zero emission now.

CARB's public health benefit analysis determined that these new
regulations, if adopted, will result in: 
A huge decline in carbon emissions to curb climate change
$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
Decreased noise pollution in neighborhoods

This ban is long overdue and needs to be implemented as soon as
possible.
Many thanks!
