Dear Friends,
Deep (light) avali (rows), a row of lights that taught us to vanquish ignorance that subdues humanity and to drive away darkness that engulfs the light of knowledge. However, Diwali today means more ‘air, noise, water, land & social’ pollution due to use of fire-crackers
| Highly polluting nature of these firecrackers lead to a plethora of diseases……… Pollutants | Can lead to... |
| Suspended Particulate Matter | Asthma, cancer, restrictive lung diseases, pneumoconiosis |
| Respirable Particulate Matter | Respiratory illness (chronic bronchitis and asthma), heart diseases |
| Sulpher Dioxide(SO2) | Eye burning, headache, respiratory problems like pulmonary emphysema, cancer, heart diseases |
| Nitrous Oxides | Lung irritation, chest tightness, viral infection, airway resistance |
Did you know the impact of bursting Fire crackers on the environment??
It affects environment in the following ways:
Air Pollution affecting health especially for the diseased, aged, children & pregnant women.
Water & land pollution will pollute our resources rivers, lakes…
Increased Noise levels can cause deafness/stress to many
It takes several weeks to bring back normal air quality
Fire hazards causing heavy damages to life and property
We are not doing justice to children of age group 6 to 14 years who manufacture these crackers who are the victims of this profession, will suffer from skin & respiratory disorders with shorter span of life.
Crackers like "atom bomb" and "Lakshmi Pataki" contain highly toxic heavy metals like cadmium, lead, copper, manganese and zinc.
Others have arsenic, mercury, chromium and iron oxides which lead to severe pollution after they are burnt.
95 % of the crackers available in the market violate noise and air pollution norms.
Let’s celebrate Diwali in a eco friendly way and save good environs to our future generations!
Cheers!
