clean air
Ban leaf blowers and compressed air blowers used to clean debris.These devices are creating health(breathing) problems in our communities.
Why is this important?
Our children are suffering higher insidents of breathing problems these days.I would like to ban leaf blowers and compressed air blowers as the dust created from these devices are bad for our health.I liken it to second hand smoke.
Example 1: Compressed air was used to clean the decks of welding debris,chop saw dust (galvanized metal) and other hazardess materials.This debris was blown out into the atmosphere of San Jose Ca.This went on for 18 floors.
Example 2:I watched 5 little children playing in there fenced in yard.The gardener at the house next door began to blow.In the light of the sun I could see the dust envelope the children.
The people in the city,the little children should not have to breath in debris from these blowers.It is time to get back to the rake and the room!
