Read the following summary from ARB and state to what degree you feel these devices should be regulated, or whether manufacturers should be responsible for the health effects of users operating these devices.
“The evidence seems clear that quieter leaf blowers would reduce worker exposures and protect hearing, and reduce negative impacts on bystanders. Fugitive dust emissions are problematic. Banning or restricting the use of leaf blowers would reduce fugitive dust emissions, but there are no data on fugitive dust emissions from alternatives, such as vacuums, brooms, and rakes. We need a more complete analysis of potential health impacts, costs and benefits of leaf blower use, and potential health impacts of alternatives.”
