| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses smog as it relates to lawnmowers, stating that "according to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), a 2006 lawnmower puts out 93 times more smog-forming emissions than a 2006 passenger automobile." Highlights the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) exhaust emission standards, explaining that "requirements will vary depending on the type of engine or vehicle and will reduce the harmful health effects of ozone and carbon monoxide." Notes that "EPA regulations apply to mowers being produced after the regulations go into effect...When it comes to air pollution, lawnmowers have a surprisingly major impact." |
