Presentation of data and information about bad effect of various festivals on the environment
Answers
INTRODUCTION :
The environment is the natural world which is made by the living beings (people, animals, and the plants) and land. Therefore it is the surroundings that affect the behavior and development of a living being or a thing. The surroundings may be living factors like plants, animals and decomposers and non-living things like air, water, light, soil etc.
Human beings are the product of the environment. They are an important factor in the environment. It is the environment that helps us for our survival, growth, development, reproduction, and health. No creature’s existence is possible without the balance of the natural elements. Thus, there must be a healthy environment for our sound living. The healthier the environment the happier the living beings including humans.
However, knowing that the environment should be clean, healthy and non-polluted, the large-scale celebration of various festivals have degraded the quality of the environment.
The practice of immersion of Ganesh idols after the Ganesh festival in various cities is causing severe water pollution which leads to the death of tonnes of fish and many aquatic creatures.
The immersion of Durga Statutes during the Durga pooja is also a cause of concern for environmentalists. In Orissa alone 5,000 Durga pooja idols are made, most of them using harmful paints.
Diwali, one of the important festivals in India has the distinction of polluting the environment to the core. Newborns and aged people have a nightmarish experience because of the high levels of sound caused by crackers during Diwali. Noise pollution on Diwali is between 69.7 dB and 88.3 dB which are higher than the prescribed limit of 50 dB. The decibel levels alarmingly high in metros and it may reach up to 100 dB.
The government, police, pollution control boards are suggesting many alternative ways to celebrate festivals which do not pollute the environment. Even strict and stringent warnings are also given to the public to refrain from bursting crackers such as atom bombs, hydrogen bombs, bullet bombs, thousand and ten thousand walls. But it all solely depends on the “change of mind”.

DETAIL REPORT OF PROJECT :
DIWALI:
Air pollution during Diwali
Clearly environmental groups and eco-clubs are fighting a losing battle. They come up with awareness campaigns and slogans like “Diwali is a festival of lights, not crackers”, “celebrate an eco-sensitive Diwali this year”, but nobody seems to take notice. Apart from the noise, crackers release a lot of toxic gases like Sulfur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide which can lead to many health problems.
Impact of air pollution on health
Air pollution can lead to lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and allergies in adults. It can also cause acute respiratory infections in children.Suspended particulate matter can cause asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory diseases
