Is Firecrackers Harmful to the Environment?

Firecrackers bursting is a resemblance of joy and fun. There’s no that much big harm caused by the fireworks. Fireworks bursting is a common and traditional activity done during Diwali. But many people are rising with thoughts like banning of fireworks during Diwali. That is because Diwali is the only day on which lakhs and lakhs of crackers are being burst. Here, in this post, you will be finding out the reasons to ban fireworks and also the reasons for not to burn fireworks. Just scroll down to get the detailed explanation on the issue of the ban on fireworks.

Diwali – Celebration of Victory

Diwali is a cultural festival of lights. Glorious sparkles will be found everywhere. According to Hindu Mythology, Diwali is celebrated for the victory of Krishna over Naragaasuran (demon). That is, it is the day on which the bad evil got vanished away. Hence, we celebrate that historical day with lots of happiness. Everywhere people will burst out with laughter to express their fun. Diwali is the significance of India and its holy tradition. Clothes and sweets add even more beauty to the occasion. Fireworks are the major constituents of Diwali celebration.
Safety and security also account during the Diwali enjoyment. Keeping that in mind, you should keep your surroundings and yourself safe. Another major thing which comes to mind is Unity among family. All the relations will assemble together to enhance their joy. Diwali only brings unity and happiness among family.

Why say ‘No’ to Firecrackers?

In recent days, a few unwanted speeches are booming here and there. The major talk is all about bursting of Fire Crackers during Diwali.  Many socialists and few other common persons are opposing the burst of fireworks. The reason they say is a very uncommon thought among Indian people. Can you guess what? They say that the shattering of fireworks during Diwali causes harm to the environment. The smoke from the fireworks causes spoilage of green plants’ life is the talk. It is said that the smoke from fireworks is creating pollution to the environment. this news is virally spreading all over Tamil Nadu. Also, cases are filed in court regarding the banning of firework lightening during Diwali. Few of the effects which are pointed are as follows

Fireworks pollute Atmospheric Air

Air is one of the five elements of the Mother Nature. While bursting crackers, the smoke of hazardous gasses flies up into the air. This makes the air impure and pollutes it. The pollution spoils about 50% of the air purity. Humidity in the air also gets lessened. Moreover, spreads more harmful poisonous gasses into the atmosphere. When people smoke those gasses, they get affected severely. Also, many diseases try to catch people easily with the hazards. Exploding items like bombs and burster create more and more smoke which spoils the entire area. Some people are polluting the nature by hanging firecrackers on trees. By doing that, the living tree gets affected.  Firecrackers bring the problem to human as well as nature.

Noise Pollution

The noise primarily gives irritation to many people. During Diwali, there will be burst of firecrackers all around and hence it produces more sound. Especially fireworks like Atom bomb create boom sound that threatens people. Many heart patients and old age people are living everywhere. If they are put in this bad situation, it creates serious health issues. So, in order to prevent such problems, a common solution was found. The Government of India ordered not to burst firecrackers after 10 PM at night. This has been in practice for the past four to five years. Even after the Supreme Court result, many are trying to burst at night. That thoroughly disturbs the people who are asleep. Fireworks create a massive noise pollution.

Heating Up of Earth’s Atmosphere – Global Warming

Global Warming is a major issue which is identified in the recent years. Due to the heavy global warming, even ozone layer depletion has occurred. Can you imagine which made way to Global warming? It is us who made the earth cry. Global warming is nothing but the heating of Earth’s Atmosphere. A major cause of global warming is hazardous gas release into the atmosphere. Fireworks are blow up and damage the purity of air. Also, the gases will make the nature weak and even causes death. The death of many trees will lead to the increase of Earth’s temperature. That eventually lead to the ozone depletion and enhanced the global warming. Fireworks are contributing more to the Global warming with its dangerous smokes.

Fire Accidents Are More Common

Catching fire is very easy. A single spark can clean up the whole city. Only the materials and gases which can catch fire should be kept out of reach easily. One such material is the Firecracker. Firecrackers are fired during many occasions. But Diwali is one big function where a huge usage of Firecrackers. Eco-friendly fireworks are very rare. During Diwali, one hot news that will be heard here and there are fire accidents. Fireworks can catch fire within a second. So, to be careful is really very important. Fire accidents are increasing every year during Diwali. Even in this month of October, there is a big fire accident at Sivakasi which killed 8 people and injured many people. Fire accidents are heard before Diwali itself. It is expected that the Fire accidents increase extremely during Diwali.

Garbage – Wastes of Fireworks

Waste disposal is really a necessary act for every family. Not only a family but also in every place where human work, wastes are common. Biodegradable and non-Biodegradable wastes are separately collected and processed in our country. Plastic is one of the most dangerous wastes which can even kill people. It won’t degrade but can be reused. Plastic combined with fire is very bad for health. With this bad scenario, already people are getting affected more. Adding to that, Fireworks are also creating its own issue. Only during Diwali season, Firework bursting is very high. Thus, too many garbage wastes will be piled up all over. These garbage wastes are very bad and also damages the cleanliness of the environment. More garbage with more fireworks is also one of the problems.
Considering all the above points, people say that Fireworks should be banned in India. Also, Fireworks are the major pollutants of the environment and hence has to be considered seriously. These are the lines which always arise during Diwali season. Even some speak throughout the year about the banning of fireworks during Diwali. Another line which they say is , “Diwali can be celebrated well with family rather than using Firecrackers”. On the whole, Diwali is a day of celebration and it does not depend on any crackers for that is what they say all about.

Fireworks – Not The Major Cause Of Danger To The Environment

Generally, when we think about an action we need to think both the good and the bad. Keeping only the bad things will always guide us to the wrong way. It is completely wrong to show attitude in these things. Care towards environment rises only during Diwali for some people. Actually, Diwali is not only a day of celebration, it is the day of complete contentment. People rejoice in as many ways as they could during these days. Why the people worrying about nature is not caring about the people’s Happiness. A three to four days of enjoyment in burning crackers is not the only cause for all the reasons said before. It only unites and brings joyousness to the human kind. There are several other reasons which really makes the harmful to the Environment.

Is Burning of Firecrackers (fireworks) Really Causing damage to the Environment?

The banning of Fireworks during Diwali brings only little damage to the environment compared to the other causes. Considering only Diwali crackers alone is not fair. Many other issues are there which are the real villains to the environment. You can find those disgusting causes below

Automobile Gas Discharge

With the increasing trends and Technology, usage of automobiles had increased in number. Everywhere traffics are jamming the passage of moves. The emission of automobile gases has also reached great heights as a result. The Carbon monoxide gas coming out from the vehicles will spoil the atmospheric air. The pure air gets damaged a lot and thereby causes air pollution. The air we breathe has also turned to be extremely dangerous.  Taj Mahal, one of the wonders of the world, has also changed its color from bright white because of the heavy air pollution at Agra.  Automobile gas discharge is a very important cause of Global warming and ozone layer depletion. The temperature of Earth has increased by 5% compared to the last year and is expected to increase even more. Compared to this, damage of Diwali firework to the environment is very less.

Industrial Hazardous Smoke Emission

In India, Industrialization is a major accumulation everywhere. Many multinational companies, as well as industries, are growing heights in the last ten years. With the improvement of industrialization, the degradation of nature has also started. The discharges of gases from the industries are very high and they tend to mingle with the natural gas. Also, Deforestation is the only tool which was taken to develop the industries. Only if we lose one, we can gain one. That is the thing we humans are following. But for our sake, we are killing the lives of many trees. It’s really a sin to do all this. Deforestation is another major cause of global warming and thus cause damage to our Mother Earth. We are  destroying the wealth of our Mother Earth to save our lives. Compared to this bad attitude of man towards Nature, firecracker damage is very less. Kodaikanal industrial damage
One of the best examples is the Kodaikanal mercury poisoning which created a massive natural pollution. Thermometer factory was set up at Kodaikanal and mercury is its major constituent. The company was owned by Hindustan Unilever and also a part of Pond’s India before. Around 2001, many workers experienced the problem of kidney disorders.Tamil Nadu Alliance Against Mercury (TNAAC) clarified that the company disposes the mercury illegally into the environment. Keeping the nature in mind, the organization was shut down thereafter.

Festival Bursts And Natural Disposal

Apart from Diwali, Firecrackers are burnt for several functions. A simple example is the Temple festival which occurs then and there at many areas. During a temple festival, lots of crackers are burnt. That happens even for a long time of about ten days sometimes. Why are people not considering such a big event of burning crackers as a reason for natural damage? Also, the garbage burns at the roadsides happening every day causes large smoke. That smoke mixes with the atmospheric air. If the garbage contains some plastic, that when mixed with fire produces dangerous smoke. Even that smog is not considered as a cause for natural damage.
Most importantly the methane gas problem which is dangerous of all. Methane gas is the  second gas of the greenhouse effect which stands badly after carbon dioxide. Methane gas production is undergoing in many industries in India. Methane severely spoils our Mother Nature’s bounty. But Methane is considered very important and precious nowadays. Diwali Firework damage to the environment is very minute compared to all.

Diwali – A Day of Celebration And Not A Cause Of Destruction

Good or bad depends on our view. Don’t see the minor damages and look into the major advantages. Happiness with satisfaction is the feeling which we try to achieve every day. Diwali is one such day which blooms with happiness and creates a lot of fun. The bursting of fireworks is a traditional custom which has been followed for centuries together. Demolishing the tradition at once is not possible with just a word. Fireworks are just burst to express our fun and increase our happiness. Just imagine a Diwali without cracker bursts. It will be really like the same day as today with you sitting with TV or mobile to see new programs. That’s It. No Fireworks No Enjoyment during Diwali.
Fireworks are the first to be remembered when we say ‘Diwali’. Three to four days of firework usage will surely not cause a huge damage. But on the other hand, there are small amounts of destruction caused when you take the whole country. The banning of fireworks during Diwali is the necessity means you need to stop it during other festivals also. It includes the marriages, political meetings, temple festivals and so on. Think clear and be practical before you engage yourself into something.

Why Should We Avoid Chinese Crackers in India

August 5, 2016 Crackers

Avoid Chinese Crackers in India

Avoid Chinese Crackers India – In the recent days, trading of Chinese crackers in Indian market is banned completely. Chinese crackers are not allowed to be used by Indian people. This was the decision officially made by the Indian government in order to protect its people from the hazardous celebration. In spite of strict rules and regulations made by the Indian government, Chinese firecrackers are imported unofficially by the smugglers for sale in India. Most of the people in India are unaware about this awful happening and are pulled to buy those firecrackers. We know that most of the people of India love to have good quality products at low rates. Since the Chinese firecrackers are from China, people believe that it is of very good quality. The cheap price is the key attractive element of the prominent Chinese firecrackers. The belief of people is also considered as their advantage of selling goods in India.

How Chinese Fireworks are made?

Chinese started to manufacture fireworks from about 2000 years ago in 202 BC. Actually, it was an accident which happened by a cook in China. Unknowingly, he mixed the Potassium nitrate and Sulfur along with some charcoal. As a result, bursts of fire came out when the mixture is compressed in a box. Potassium nitrate is a chemical which has the ability to make things burn and explode. Coming to Sulfur, it gives out spraying of fires with rotten egg smells. Charcoal has the nature of burning on lit.  This finally led to the invention of firecrackers. Then on, firecrackers are burst for different events in their own society. People believed that the fireworks have the tendency to blow off the evil spirits around them. Thereby it is also believed that unnecessary fights between the different people groups are avoided. So, they celebrated every festival with a bang of firecrackers.
After some centuries, the making methodology of Chinese firecrackers changed a little bit. What they did was is the stuffing of bamboo tubes, which they followed, and threw into the fire. The immediate consequence is the explosion of fire with bright sparks and smokes. Further generations made betterment s to the manufacturing techniques for attaining different color sparks, boom sound, shapes, smokes, etc. After the introduction of black powders in the 14th century, Chinese began to use black powder for Chinese fireworks like bombs and rockets. Black powder consists of a mixture of potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur.

After the 17th century, dynamites are also used in firecrackers. Although so much had been done to the fireworks, colors were not that much bright. During the 19th century, Aluminium and magnesium were introduced which Chinese tried using in their firecrackers. But that increased only some of the brightness of the firecrackers. Chinese were not satisfied with the appearance of the sparks. Soon, the fireworks are used in various places of Europe like Germany, Italy and so on.
Other chemicals used include flash powder which contains the mixture of potassium chlorate, sulfur, and aluminum. Stars are the special type of elements which burns to provide heat and also coloring agents are included in the production of Chinese fireworks in order to provide fantasy colors into space. Sugars are also used to get smoke. Oxidizers are highly reactive compounds which contain chlorine which has the ability to readily react with copper, strontium barium, etc. The former said elements along with coloring agents and black powder are mixed and used with Chinese firecrackers. Chinese fireworks are made in a good manner for use by people at first.

Handling of fireworks

With the development of potassium chlorate by a French chemist Claude-Louis Berthollet, Chinese planned to use it in their set of firecrackers. The specialty of the chemical potassium chlorate is that it can give birth to various colors with great intensity. All over the world people started to use firecrackers by 20th century for their auspicious celebrations. In the early years of 20th century, during the independence of various nations was celebrated with fireworks. On the flip side, some thousands of people in China were also injured of firecrackers. Official permission for fireworks was given by the Federal and state governments in 1930. Around the years from 1900 to 1930, many have been exposed to severe injuries by using the toxic Chinese fireworks. People burst firecrackers on the streets, terrace and nearby public places like schools, hospitals, etc. Consequently, many died and also got injured. For the security and safety of people, the government made efforts in bringing about awareness among the society.  Hence, classification of firework products took place with three major categories. Fireworks are classified as Class A, Class B, and Class C.
Class A includes the explosives with dangerous chemicals like dynamites and TNT which are notable for being careful to handle with. Generally, these fireworks are used for Military applications. Class B includes fireworks for higher authority and professional use. For defense mechanisms and for common entertainment activities the above collections of firecrackers are used. Class C contains the set off firecrackers which are allowable for use privately. It depends on the country or state to decide on the use of fireworks. Mostly this classification is followed on a large scale. There are also cases where many states allow class A and class B for private use. But hazardous fireworks are strictly prohibited from use by the government. The most important factor in making of fireworks is safety. Even the factories of firework manufacturing are full of security in order to protect working people as well as intruders. Some of the protective coverings include electric fences, gates, and doors. Inside of factories, many precautionary items are kept for safety. Illegal selling of fireworks is also done in many places which had led to several deaths and injuries. Such a cruel activity is practiced in India by smugglers for money. Many fireworks are got at low rates from China and also sold at very low prices.

Why Chinese Crackers are Harmful and Avoided in India?

In India, especially in Tamil Nadu, manufacturing of fireworks is taking place at Sivakasi. Large amounts of fireworks are manufactured by different factories in Sivakasi and are sold all over the country. Even online booking and purchasing facility of firework products from Sivakasi is available for the customers. Sivakasi is famous for its ample variety of firecracker manufacturing and sale. But in the recent years, the sale of Sivakasi fireworks that is our Indian firework sale has fallen greatly. It was not realized at first and the government took steps to find out what was the fault.
The ultimate answer to it was the sale of Chinese fireworks which were brought illegally and sold in India. Investigations are carried out leading to complete examination of the happening. As a result of the investigation, shocking information was found out. Chinese firecrackers are made out of potassium chlorate which is highly hazardous. Chinese fireworks are mostly not wrapped in a perfect manner and hence leak possibilities are high.
Even a small spark of fire will make a blast in a second since potassium chlorate is very sensitive in nature. Potassium chlorate is very low in cost for about 50 rupees per kg. Due to low cost, potassium chlorate is vastly used in Chinese firecrackers. For marketing firework products, low price thus becomes an easy trick for smugglers to grab customers. Innocent people don’t know the seriousness of the chemical and are buying it regularly.
The Central government on knowing the facts of Chinese Firecrackers banned it in India in 2014. But secret plans and smuggling activities are taking place in many places in India. Due to which Chinese fireworks are bought at low cost by the people from illegal sellers. As a consequence, original Indian firecrackers are not marketed goodly among the populace. Last year, even though it was Diwali time, Sivakasi firework sales were not so good. Loss of about 2500 crores was estimated after the account of Diwali. It was a major breakdown for all the industries in Sivakasi. At the same time, there was an abundant heap of fireworks sold all around India. It was really a terrible happening and a great degradation of the economy of India.

How to Avoid Chinese Crackers India?

As a good citizen of India, one should know to differentiate between our Indian product and Chinese firework product. Indian Product will have the manufacturer name with complete address. Also, the product cost of India is costlier than Chinese. Indian people try to buy goods at low prices. The government is taking necessary steps in avoiding Chinese crackers in India by periodic checking and investigating import and export products. Trading is an important activity of India in increasing the wealth of the nation. But the major drawback is the lack of surveillance and security management in some areas of India. The illegal criminals find their way through those loopholes for their business.
The government has seriously engaged itself in prohibiting the offensive action. Recently, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and Customs department have got a huge bulk of illegal imports to India. At the end of the checking, it was found to be imported from China. In spite of banning Chinese fireworks, the quantity seized was very excessive than got during the last year. It was completely shocking for the officials of Customs department as well as for the citizens of India. Although the government is taking steps in its own way, we need to be careful with our own safety. Smugglers are increasing day by day, so it is our duty to be cautious in buying products.
In order to create awareness, several videos, and pictures of the effect of Chinese crackers has also been released. An easy way of finding the difference through the naked eye is with the burst. Chinese fireworks bang faster and with a louder sound than our Indian fireworks. That is because of the toxic perchlorates and potassium chlorate used which is banned in India. Every year hundreds of people die due to the burst of fireworks and hence various laws were formulated for the use of fireworks. Low cost, the big bang, and product manufacturer are the evidence of Chinese fireworks. Try to avoid using Chinese fireworks because it has killed thousands of people. Toxic materials used in those fireworks are high in amount. If you find any Chinese product try to avoid it and choose Indian product at any cause for wonderful celebration. Choose Indian fireworks for having a fun filled experience and an awesome celebration.
