Reports about
those noxious fumes and excessive noise emitted from gasoline lawn
mowers are indeed true.
A Swedish study conducted in 2001 concluded, “Air pollution from
cutting grass for an hour with a gasoline powered lawn mower is
about the same as that from a 100-mile automobile ride.” Meanwhile,
the 54 million Americans mowing their lawns each weekend with
gas-powered mowers may be contributing as much as five percent of
the nation’s air pollution, according to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).
According to the Noise Pollution Clearinghouse (NPC), the 85 to 90
decibels of noise produced by a typical gas-powered mower can be
heard a quarter mile away or more. In other words, mowing a
quarter-acre lot with a gas-powered mower pollutes 100 acres of
neighborhood with noise. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) both recommend that a person
should limit exposure to noises as loud as an average mower to 15
minutes a day?
The problem is that small engines are loud and emit
disproportionately large amounts of carbon monoxide, volatile
organic compounds and nitrogen oxides that contribute to smog. The
human health effects of smog-laden air are well known, and include
inflammation and damage to lungs, increased risk of asthma attacks,
and lowered levels of oxygen in the bloodstream, which can aggravate
heart conditions. Couple this with the disturbingly loud noise
levels and cutting your grass could be a downright health hazard.
 But
what can be done about this problem?
The answer is
Enviro-mowing!
