These tiny particles, often invisible to the naked eye, can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing inflammation and triggering various health issues. Moreover, leaf blowers disturb fragile ecosystems, destroying beneficial insects like bees and butterflies, whose pollination is crucial for our food supply. The noise pollution they generate disrupts wildlife, interfering with communication and breeding patterns.
