Water is one of the most toxic substances on earth. complete immersion will cause death quicker than Cyanide in the gas chamber. Fireworks pollute but I have heard of no deaths from fireworks emissions even when they are presented to large crowds. I have seen more fatalities (dogs) from noise pollution than from the toxins produced.

You would need to know what they are made of first starting out with plain gunpowder.

Oh get real! haha Beefcattle and people put out more methane and other gases and toxins into the atmosphere and have more effect on the planet than fireworks ever could! 7 billion people put out a litre of gas a day! Cattle put out up to 7 litres! (President Bush puts out about 20 a day, but that's from the other end, - granted, not much difference between each end there! haha)...and I agree with the other writer who said that bushfires pose a much greater risk to the atmosphere and wildlife than fireworks...which are managed well, ever could.

Yes, all toxins and smokes are dangerous to a certain degree.. They are not natural to the earth, so there for they have a certain degree of damage... Kinda vague I am sorry there is no way to determine without a controlled research...

No way near as bad, or as massive as the untreated smoke from a naturally occurring forest fire, or an erupting volcano.
Hmmm....nature causes greenhouse gases for hundreds of thousands of years......maybe it's not ALL manmade after all. There's a concept!

Not anymore than the natural brimstone that comes from volcanoes

Not in the minuscule quantities in which they are used.
