Two-stroke engines are bad not only for the environment, but also for the people who operate them.
These engines not only produce a ton of particulate emissions, but also a lot of half-burned and unburned hydrocarbons. Including formaldehyde, benzene, and all kinds of other craps.
You can at least filter out particulates with a N99 mask, but it does nothing against hydrocarbons.

Not to mention that a lot of people use them without hearing protection and given how notoriously loud they are they're also giving themselves hearing damage.
