Fireworks have been one of the amazing inventions of human. Serve primarily to cast evils spirits, it did more than that. It livens the spirit of anyone you look at it. Fireworks are amazing things to look at, especially when it is aerial. However, when handled or used improperly, it can be dangerous such that it caused lives. Each and anyone of us therefore must be aware of the harmful effects it can bring in order for us to effectively avoid them when handling fireworks.
Annually, the use of fireworks has brought misery instead of the happiness it should have brought. Here are some of the effects we need to look at and see what we can do about it.
1. Fireworks can cause injuries. Since fireworks are composed of highly flammable materials, when mishandled, fireworks can cause injuries to humans and to pets. In fact, thousands are injured yearly because of improperly handling and storage. There are even cases where amputation is needed because of fireworks-related injuries. The worst, there are victims of fireworks that are children.
2. These can cause fires. Ignition of fireworks should be done by adults and keep children off the task. There are incidents when children play the fireworks and set it near flammable materials that it causes fire. Care should be taken when lighting fireworks in places where there are highly-flammable materials. It also goes without saying that they should not be lit indoors and in grassy areas.
3. Fireworks are a hazard to the environment. Fireworks use chemical compounds to produce various colours and effect. However, during the process, these emit smokes and harmful substances that add to air pollution specially when used in unreasonable amounts.
4. Can cause distress to animals. Studies shows that the noise caused by fireworks distressed animals. Dogs in particular, feel distressed by the loud noises created by fireworks. While it cannot be avoided entirely, what pet owners can do is to hide pets in a room where the noise is the least audible.
The use of fireworks has been a tradition and will exists as long as there are festivities. There is a long debate on the harmful effects of fireworks and the issue still rages. Though one side pushes for a total ban of its use, a compromise can be made by regulating not only use of fireworks but by regulating who and for what reason it will be used. In doing so, the harmful effects of fireworks will minimal and lives can be saved.
