Is burning fire crackers is good duti Diwali? why?
Answers
Answer:
New Delhi: The red and bright glare of the rockets and other crackers lighting up the dark moonless night of Diwali, may be a sight to behold, but it also fills the air with toxic pollutants. Why? Because the very ingredients that make the firecrackers attractive on being lit, are some of the most toxic metals and chemicals. When burned, the firecrackers emit toxic pollutants, particularly sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) along with several metallic compounds, which not only have detrimental effect on air quality but also pose serious health risks, particularly to people suffering from respiratory diseases. Right from the gunpowder that fuels the flight of a noisy rocket to the metal that gives out the colourful sparkles during the fireworks, everything releases a large amount of harmful air pollutants. That is why Delhi’s top doctors declared air pollution as a public health emergency and urged people to not burn firecrackers and celebrate a green Diwali. Here’s how the different metals and chemicals used in making firecrackers can affect your health:
