Are there scientific studies on environmental effects of fireworks?

Answer 1

I did a search on google and on scholar.google on
pollution fireworks

The conclusion seems to be
- there is a lot of scientific literature available on the polution from fireworks, and a lot about environmental and health effects of the heavy metals that can come from fireworks (among other sources) but few studies establish a direct link from fireworks to envrionmental and health damage
- almost all available scientific literature requires a payed subscription (which I'm too mean to pay for)
- although outdoor air pollution from fireworks sometimes drastically exceeds official standard limits, there is no direct evidence for adverse effects. This may be because at most places fireworks are used only a few times a year while the standars are based on frequent pollution (my speculation)
- There is direct evidence for adverse health effects of indoor use of fireworks, as well as heavy metal toxification of fireworks factory workes in Tamil Nady, India.

Answer 2

Aside from unintentional forest fires, the greatest environmental impact from fireworks would be in their manufacture.

During firework displays, most of the potentially harmful elements of the firework is converted (quite rapidly) into heat energy and blast pressure. The resultant smoke is minimal, and dissapates within minutes. Being only a rare occurance, it is not likely that the large firework displays offer much of a detrimental effect.

I don't have any facts to back me up, but I HAVE to assume that the manufacture of these fireworks is closely watched, from the delivery of raw material to the point of manufacture and any discharge of waste product. If RESTAURANT smokestacks are monitored, I would assume the vents at firework factories are, also.

Let's see if you question brings a more informed response

The bible is an previous e book that has been(elements) orally exceeded down and something inclusive of those were translated upon translated. the present texts are going to be similar, yet diverse from the unique. also, the e book isn't a scientifically depending e book, this is going to under no circumstances delay to actual scrutiny. in case you've faith contained in the bible to any degree you would possibly want to settle for that god did not placed each and every thing into the e book. also you would possibly want to settle for some if not plenty develop into lost in translation, extra over you would possibly want to comprehend the e book develop into dictated by employing god(in case you've faith) and WRITTEN by employing guy meaning it really is defective. contained in the top, i think it would want to be impressive to bypass off the morals of the e book, and under no circumstances the information.
