Impact Of Firework Fumes On Health
Smoke from fireworks poses certain health risks. People who are asthmatic and suffering from heart problems should stay away from firecracker fumes. The presence of fine particles in the firecrackers contribute to long term and short term health problems which normally affect the lungs. Experts also state that firework fumes affect normal people, especially the ones who live in congested cities.
On the other hand, smokers have a much higher effect during Diwali since smoker's lungs are not strong enough to beat the contaminated air.
5 Ways To Prevent Pollution This Diwali!
During the winter season, the chances of developing lung problems are high. This is because the fumes emitted from the firecrackers don't pass through the air easily. They form a thick crust in the lower atmosphere, making it difficult for those who are suffering from breathing problems.
Diwali is a festival of lights, and fumes are part and parcel of this celebration. People who are suffering from heart diseases and breathing problems should avoid the inhalation of these harmful lead fumes at any cost. This applies to pregnant women too.
