Fireworks are beautiful... but your lungs would disagree.

Studies have shown that air pollution from fireworks is toxic. Firework displays generate huge concentrations of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and other pollutants. This spike in air pollution levels can be up to eight times higher than normal at the end of a fireworks show. They can linger in the air for several hours and can travel for miles around the world.

LOVING THE COLOURS? THEY ARE CHEMICALS

Fireworks are basically explosions of chemicals. Smoke from fireworks can contain lead, copper and other harmful toxins. This can pose a health risk, particularly to people who suffer from respiratory conditions.
