STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- The air pollution from cutting grass for an hour with a gasoline powered lawn mower is about the same as that from a 100 mile automobile ride, according to a new study from Sweden. The report, which the authors say is the first to compare lawn mower pollution with auto mileage, recommends using catalytic converters on mowers.

Ronski - 5/29/2006 4:48:57 PM Well, I googled and it seems they solved that by a new design in 1981 and by using unleaded gas. Figures, since I haven't heard of fires for a long time. 3832.
