90.989             Banning the Use of Gasoline Powered Leaf Blowers

The Medical Society of the State of New York will call upon the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the manufacturers of gas leaf blowers to develop guidelines that would dramatically reduce the toxic emissions and noise level of gas leaf blowers.  MSSNY will also encourage New York State and other governmental entities to promote the use of non-polluting alternatives to gas leaf blowers.

A copy of this resolution will be transmitted to the American Medical Association for consideration at its House of Delegates. (HOD 2016-152)
