Living without fireworks Home

The air pollutants revealed after fireworks shows performed in New York have even surpassed the level of pollution caused by large forest fires in Canada. New York University Langone Medical Center was conducted by New York University Faculty of Medicine and published a study in Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology. Accordingly, the average daily fine particle concentration in New York, 15 micrograms per cubic meter, during forest fires in Canada, this number reached 3 thousand micrograms per hava after the airworks show. Similar results were obtained in other major cities. Air pollutants levels in Boston, Philadelphia and Washington DC also showed an important increase after airworks shows. The pollutant levels returned to normal levels after they rise from 3 to 12 hours in these cities.

It can lead to cell deaths]
The research team found two-fold increase in levels of metals such as lead, nickel and antimon in water samples taken from the regions where fireworks are exploded. These metals are used to give vivid color to fireworks. Previously, scientists referring to experiments using mice and human tissue have been warned that the lungs can damage cells that do not expose to such emissions and even cause oxidation that can lead to cell deaths. Bursa Uludag University Faculty of Engineering Professor of Faculty of Environmental Engineering. Home. Efsun Dindar stated that the airworks are made for joy and celebration, but many chemicals and heavy metals in these shows have severe damage to the environment and human health with the spread of the atmosphere.

Can lead to pollution in their land
Efsun Dindar, which expresses that chemicals such as barium, strontium, potassium nitrate and sulfur are toxic and creates harmful effects in the environment, stressed that these chemicals can stay for years in the soil and water. Dindar said that “Heavy metals are biodegradable and accumulate in the ecosystem,” Dindar stated that these chemicals can spread to wide areas through water or wind and cause pollution in water sources with agricultural lands. Dindar; “This situation can negatively affect food chain. After the fireworks shows, the chemicals located in the ruins falling to the ground may stay in the soil for a long time without distortion. This situation can disappear the efficiency of the soil when it is repeated near the areas where agricultural activities are performed. These heavy metals with nuts can be mixed into underground waters and can lead to pollution in larger areas.

The animals on the road are negatively affected]
The smoke and is cloud, which occurs during the blasting of fireworks, when creating air pollution, also leads to the spread of a strange gas smell. Efsun Dindar stated that this condition is an activity that imposes balance in terms of air pollution, expressed that airworks polluted air from one side, also caused noise and light pollution. Dindar, which specifically states that birds are getting stress during such demonstrations, even cause deaths, “Christmas and other animals can multiply to objects in the environment by spreading during the explosion of fireworks, or animals that are in the way of migration can be negatively affected. During the blasting of fireworks, parts falling down into small sparks can cause fires in forest areas. He also talked about trees, houses and electric wires in cases where fireworks can not be properly exploded.

Solunum can trigger road diseases]
Efsun Dindar, which emphasizes the fact that the fireworks grow environmentally unpleasant results, noted that in the way of breathing, in close proximity to these shows, there may be troubles in respiratory tract.. Dindar said that smoke from fireworks can trigger respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and this condition can pose serious effects on human health. It also noted that noise pollution can cause stress, hearing loss and insomnia. Dindar expressed that due to a very high temperature explosion of fireworks, people located nearby may encounter burns.

Bilinch studies have been done
] Efsun Dindar, expressing that the use of fireworks should be made awareness about the negative effects of the environment and human health, stated that the use of airworks can be carried out in the life of strict regulations and prohibitions to be restricted. Dindar, highlighting that laser, light and drone shows are among alternatives that can replace fireworks, added that these methods do not cause chemical spread and threaten human health.
