Particulate matter is emitted by leaf blowers (among other gas-powered lawn tools).

They are a mixture of liquid and particulate matter and gets into your lungs.When this happens, there can be serious health issues for both your heart and lungs.

Just another reason not to use a leaf blower or live around people who do.
