Fireworks are going on outside my house right now... They make pretty flashing lights and leave behind nasty smoke trails...
As they say too much of a good thing is bad for you.
I would say too much fireworks, fireworks in general, is definately not good for the atmosphere.

I'm sure the sulfur or whatever goes into fireworks isn't great for the environment. But consider what you do know. Fireworks have to be package; that's waste of resources. And the fireworks must be shipped around the country by truck, train, plane, ship, ect; all of these modes of transportation use fossil fuels that as you know are a cause of global warming.

It is an insignificant amount compared to other natural and manmade sources of pollutants. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah rite it adds just about as much as shooting a gun does. Which is about as harmless as a campfire. Good thought though.
