Christmas, time to share, to celebrate and have a great time; but it is also a time when fireworks play a major role during the celebration, thousands of places celebrate the beginning of the new year with millions of fireworks sending tons of visual art that we enjoy in our sky to our atmosphere; thousands of colors and shapes; the truth is magical, but there is always a but; we do not know that we are contributing to send enormous amounts of carbon monoxide and PM 2.5 gases and particles that remain in our planet accumulated contributing what I mentioned in previous post the so-called "global warming".

So if you expected the answer is yes, if they affect the environment; the fireworks foment the pollution in our cities and it is that it has not happened to them that the next day of the 31 of December a huge gray cloud is observed dense in the surface of our atmosphere; this due to the millions of particles dispersing because of the fireworks show of the previous night, it is a pity because really the work of the fireworks is something that I find incredible but its consequences are also, all this solution opens a fan of diseases for all of us who live with contaminated skies.

Atmospheric Pollution Affects Directly to Health

The concentration of particles in the atmosphere is due to the fact that in the diesel emissions of the fireworks in its execution, some particles known as PM 2.5 are released, which are known as the smallest respirable fractions, many times we wonder because the first days of the year we suffer from the flu despite the fact that we ask for "great health", the truth is that our atmosphere exposes us to this material capable of causing diseases in the respiratory tract such as bronchitis, asthma, allergies and even ailments of the type cardiovascular, the problem with PM 2.5 is that its small size makes them 100% respirable and travel directly to our lungs, even reaching the bloodstream, they contain toxic elements such as heavy metals and organic compounds many times in more concentration than larger particles. Their size also allows them to stay longer in the air because they do not weigh, moving in the environment with ease.

Fireworks are only a contribution of these particles to the environment, which today are in our cities due to vehicles and means of transport, I believe that the best way to avoid many more is to reduce the use of them ; but it is quite complicated to make the population understand the serious impact on the environment and our health by saying "hey do not use your vehicle", I think it is something cultural and people until they are individually affected will not do anything about it.

The truth I admit that fireworks seem beautiful but it is something that is not necessary and is affecting our planet, our health and even the animals that fear pyrotechnics, if this is used it should be in a much more controlled way, it is a It is a pity that each year we are welcoming a new year, released tons of pollution, some day we will be aware of how we are affecting the world and how we are directly hurting ourselves.
