Essay on say no to cracker
Answers
1) Smog
The harsh winter season has not even begun in the capital city, the air is filled with smog already. Particulate matter mixed with smoke from automobiles is choking Delhi enough. During Diwali, the pollution goes up by more than 30% due to bursting of firecrackers. Do you want to choke yourself and others around you more?
2) Fire accidents
Fire accidents are common in cracker markets, be it in Faridabad or in Kozhikode, Kerala. A small spark is enough to set ablaze a whole region, and the accident could damage properties, and claim lives. Why risk your lives?
3) Other living beings/pets
You might be having the time of your life bursting crackers but there are other living beings around you, less privileged, lacking the ability to communicate the way you do - animals including your own pets. Dogs tend to get confused seeing the sound and light changing in their immediate surrounding.
4) Garbage
Forget PM's Swaccha Bharat campaign, but would you like to see garbage all over when you wake up on the day of Diwali? The crackers burst not only pollutes by contaminating the air, but also pollutes the land. See for yourself!
5) Child labour
The story of thousands of child labourers employed in firework factories is not unknown to you. These children working in dangerous conditions often face accidents, sometimes so serious it leaves them crippled for life. Despite safety measures, umpteen number of fire accidents are reported every year from Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu alone. Only way to save these children is to say no to crackers! When the demand dies, supply will die.
6) Crackers affect new-borns babies
The adverse affects of bursting crackers seem unending. Dr Ashwini Nabar says in an article says the frequent exposure to loud noises during pregnancy might affect the baby in the mother's womb, though not proven yet. However, it surely affects the mother, she adds. The noise from firecrackers can lead to tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and might last for 24 hours or more depending on the intensity of and closeness to the firecracker sound.
7) Harmful gases in the air
Crackers often contain elements like copper, cadmium, sulphur, aluminium and barium to produce the vibrant colours once ignited. The harmful gases produced from the bursting of crackers, such as Nitrous Oxide, remains in the air for a long time if the city doesn't get enough rain or strong winds. Inhaling the fumes emitted by firecrackers increase the chances of asthma attack among patients. Heart patients and patients of chronic bronchitis and low immune system are at high risk too.
Fire works and crackers – these are the ‘reflectors’ of the spirit of Diwali. To many children (and some adults), the festival is all about how many crackers they burst or what’s the newest, loudest and longest fire -cracker on the shelf! Alas! Little thought is given to the hazards these can cause.
The ‘sparkle, smoke and sound’ package of Diwali treats you to toxic chemicals, suspended particles and high noise levels. Chemicals spewed into the environment range from heavy metals like cadmium and lead to others like copper, manganese, zinc, sodium, magnesium and potassium. The suspended particles hang like a thick blanket reducing visibility and suffocating the atmosphere. Noise levels cross the threshold of human tolerance.
