Just to complicate this issue (without resolving anything), I seem to recall from the debates in California about leaf blowers, that they cause additional air pollution because they raise a lot of dust and other particulate matter into the air.
My pet peeve is lawn mowers, not leaf blowers, but I don't think anyone is going to be able to ban them soon. Oh well. ;-) Michael Atherton Prospect Park REMINDERS: 1.
