Since the advent of Covid-19, many of us have been working and studying from home. The Town Council would like to gauge residents' interest about noise and air pollution regarding gas- powered leaf blowers. How to respond to this one minute survey: Please reply to this email listing the question number and the number of your response. Survey responses are due October 10. Any restrictions would apply to residents, as well as Town and resident-hired vendors. Enforcement and fines would need to be considered. The Town currently follows County noise regulations. Popular models of commercial GLBs emit noise that exceeds 100 decibels at the source and are 76-83 decibels at 501 feet. On average corded electric and battery-powered blowers tend to be around 65-70 Exhaust emissions from GLBS consist of both unburned fuel and products of combustion. Research shows that GLBS produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and fine particulates. While electric models do not eliminate the contribution to greenhouse gasses, it shifts combustion to power decibels at 501 feet away. plants. Thank you for answering the following questions. 1.
