Question

Essay on crackers are the causes of pollution

Answer 1

Fire crackers have carbon and Sulphur and they produce a range of gases, including a number of chemicals that act as colouring agent, reducing agent, oxidizer, stabilizer and binder.The colors have antimony sulphide for the glitter effect, aluminum for white, barium nitrate for green, lithium for red, copper for blue and strontium for purple.

Greater impact on children

The impact of crackers on children is far greater than it is on adults because their ability to metabolize and detoxify environmental agents is different.
Aluminum and antimony sulphide (coloring agents) causes Alzheimer’ disease, perchlorate (ammonium and potassium), an oxidizing agent, can cause lung cancer.It causes thyroid complications; the cadmium compounds damage the lungs and leads to gastrointestinal problems.The barium nitrate is poisonous and causes respiratory irritation, radioactive effects, gastrointestinal problems and muscular weakness.The lithium and copper compounds causes hormonal imbalance and is poisonous to plants and animals
