Question

Aim and objective bad effect of festival on environment

Answer 1

Unfortunately, every year, the quantum of air and noise pollution caused due to the bursting of firecrackers increases on Diwali.

Firecrackers release pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide etc in the air, which causes ailments like asthma and bronchitis. Not only the elderly and patients in hospitals, but animals and birds are also affected due to air and noise pollution.

Though various schools and organisations organised demonstrations prior to Diwali to educate the masses on a pollution-free festival, their efforts have been futile.

The environment and pollution departments also got notices published in various newspapers about regulations to curb noise and air pollution, but to no avail.

As per directions of the Supreme Court, bursting of sound-emitting firecrackers has been banned between 10pm to 6am. However, shockingly, the direction was openly flouted as firecrackers were burst throughout the night.

This caused excessive noise and air pollution. On the receiving end of this menace were the elderly and patients in hospitals.

Post Diwali, the roads are littered with the remnants of fireworks. The deluge of garbage, including empty bottles used to light off rockets, on every nook and corner of the city is a worrying sign.
“It’s not a new thing. This happens every year,” said Naresh Johar, a city-based writer.
