The same is true for nuclear bombs.
While that is true, that is also not what leaf blowers do.
IMHO, noise pollution does not exist: there is only noise. It is not an environmental “problem” like poisonous water.
Any dust created is minimal and temporary, unlike nuclear fallout which tends to stick around.
Just not a fan of any government dictating my choice of yard implement. And don’t get me started about my charcoal grill....
