Introduction
Diwali is a very important festival for a majority of Indians and no celebration of this festival is considered complete without the use of plenty of firecrackers. So enthusiastic are people about them that they start blowing up firecrackers days and, sometimes, even weeks before Diwali. While firecrackers create beautiful patterns and lights, they are also composed of chemicals that, when burned, cause significant pollution.
Air Pollution
Firecrackers primarily contain sulphur and carbon. However, they also contain added chemicals added to act as binders, stabilizers, oxidizers, reducing agents and colouring agents. To create the multi-coloured glitter effect the colours are made up of antimony sulphide, barium nitrate, aluminium, copper, lithium and strontium.
When these firecrackers are lit, these chemicals are released into the air, reducing air quality drastically. To make matters worse, Diwali usually takes place in October or November when many cities in northern India face fog. The gases released from the firecrackers are trapped in this fog and increase the level of pollution exponentially.
Children are more susceptible to the ill effects of this type of pollution as compared to adults. However, in both these chemicals can cause wide-ranging illnesses from Alzheimer’s to lung cancer to respiratory issues.
Noise Pollution
The bangs and booms of firecrackers that we love so much are actually pretty damaging to our hearing. The highest level of noise that the human ear can tolerate without damage is eighty five decibels. Firecrackers have an average noise level of 125 decibels. As a result, there are plenty of cases of lost or damaged hearing on or after days when firecrackers explode everywhere.
Conclusion
Firecrackers on Diwali, a day of light, have certainly turned things dark for us. The pollution has reached such levels that recently the Supreme Court of India issued a ban on using firecrackers on Diwali. How much harm they cause to the environment can be seen in the fact that to repair one day’s worth of pollution, it would take the lifetime of five thousand trees. For the sake of our health as well as our children’s health we need to start thinking twice about using firecrackers on auspicious events.

People come down with all sorts of respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis. Air and noise pollution are also the side effects of firecrackers that are responsible for various injuries.

People need to understand that bursting firecrackers is not trendy anymore. It is important for the government to organize anti-firecracker campaigns and discourage people from bursting firecrackers. Parents as well as children should be educated on the harmful effects of firecrackers and environmental laws should be implemented strictly.
Observing that the ‘Right to Sleep’ is a fundamental right, the government of India has banned firecrackers between 10 pm and 6 am, on Diwali. The effect of this ban has been very positive and the sale of firecrackers has considerably gone down.
