New Year's Fireworks: A Brilliant Display, but Leaving Behind Pollution Concerns

The festive season is a time for celebration, reunion with family and friends, but these days also often come with an increase in air pollution, particularly from fireworks and other festive activities. Air pollution during the holiday season can have negative effects on health, especially on the respiratory system. Therefore, being aware of the impact of air pollution during festive seasons and taking protective measures for health is crucial.

The Impact of Fireworks and Festive Activities on Air Pollution

During the festive periods, especially during New Year's Eve and Lunar New Year, fireworks display is a common tradition. However, this activity not only generates noise but also releases a large number of pollutants into the air, including:

  • Toxic Gases: Gases such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are released when fireworks explode. These gases can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, and exacerbate respiratory issues.
  • Fine Particulate Matter: Fireworks and other explosive devices generate a significant amount of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which is small enough to penetrate deep into the lungs, causing respiratory diseases such as asthma, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
  • Smog and Smoke: During festive periods, when the volume of fireworks increases, the air becomes thick with smog and smoke, leading to temporary or prolonged pollution, reducing visibility and air quality.

Not only fireworks, but activities such as bonfires, candle lighting, or burning other materials during festivals also contribute to the increase in air pollution.
