Stop mowing the lawn unless you want to continue contributing to ozone formation and air pollution. According to recent research done at the School of Applied Sciences in Australia with a study on the effect of cutting grass emitting volatile organic compounds (VOC) into the atmosphere the C6-compounds are highly reactive with hydroxyl radicals and ozone. In urban areas these compounds contribute to photochemical smog, or air pollution.
That smell of fresh cut grass is actually gases being emitted that are toxic. And, since grasslands are 1/4 of our Earth’s land surface cutting grass can contribute 30 – 35% of our global VOC’s.
Leave the grasslands to the farming communities for livestock. Be smart and consider more ecological landscaping products for your property.

The smell of cut grass is the smell of harmful toxins polluting our environment. Cutting grass contributes almost 1/2 as much air pollution as motor vehicles and only we can stop it.
