Written by Medical Society of the State of New York

The Medical Society of the State of New York adopted a resolution calling on the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and gas leaf blower manufacturers to create guidelines that significantly reduce toxic emissions and noise levels. Additionally, the Society encourages the promotion of non-polluting alternatives to gas leaf blowers. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the American Medical Association for consideration.
