The bursting of crackers during Diwali is primarily responsible for an increase in concentration of dust and pollutants. The fine dust that settles after bursting crackers is rich in pollutants like oxides of sulphur and nitrogen, metal dust and organic pollutants.
Even the tiny sparklers, torches and flower pots which are otherwise considered to create no noise at all generate thick smoke that can affect the respiratory tract of young children.
The suspended particulate matter levels rise significantly during Diwali. This causes throat, nose and eye related problems which can later develop into adverse health issues.
Firecrackers have much more severe effects in people with heart, respiratory or nervous system disorders.
They can aggravate problems for people suffering from colds, allergies or coughs and can also cause congestion of the throat and chest.
They can also cause water contamination and acid rains.

The sound of bursting crackers can be quite traumatic to pets, as they cannot bear loud sounds.
