Do forest clearing machines release air pollution?
It depends greatly on the equipment used, but yes, always. There will always be equipment running with engines, be it gasoline engines, diesel engines, LP gas engines, CNG engines, or even electrical devices, as the electricity being generated comes from some type of source which will create some type of pollution (this would include charging of batteries for some electrical devices) This could be argued all the way down to the people who are actually doing the manual labor, as people will release carbon dioxide from breathing, methane and other gasses from the digestive system, and much more.
