Diwali or Deepavali is a festival of light signifying victory of good over evil and light over darkness.

It is one of the biggest festivals of Hindus, but is also celebrated by Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists.

In Hindu calendar, every good thing starts from Diwali. People clean their house, start their business afresh and wish each other a happy and prosperous life.

They decorate their houses with ‘diya’ (light), which is the harbinger of hope and all round development.

But unfortunately, in the recent years, Diwali has become synonymous with loud crackers and thereby air and noise pollution.
Here are 10 points why we should avoid crackers this Diwali:

1. Crackers are made with dangerous chemicals having cancer-causing toxins. The chemicals that crackers emit include nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide throwing more particulate matter to the atmosphere.

2. Children are more vulnerable to pollution from crackers as they breathe more pollution than adults due to their hyper activities during the festival.

According to a study by the Central Pollution Control Board and Chittaranjan National Cancer  Research Institute in Delhi, one child in every three children in the city has impaired lungs due to high level of air pollution.

3. The sparklers that children mostly enjoy may seem to be harmless, but their coloured flames include dangerous toxic metals like strontium, barium, copper, iron, percholate and sulphide that may cause lung cancer and skin and thyroid problems.

4. Besides being causes of health hazards, crackers can cause serious injuries to people, especially children. People have received burns and lost eyesight and even lives due to the faulty bursting of crackers.
