Abstract
Abstract The present study was carried out during the Diwali fireworks period in the month of November over an urban site in Delhi, India. This article concludes that the burning of crackers and sparkles are a strong source of metals, organic carbon, elemental carbon and particulate matter pollution, and that firecrackers burning adversely affects ambient air quality. Morevoer, the release of certain toxic elements and gases such as aluminum, barium, strontium and chlorine can have particualry negative health affects on people suffering with respiratory ailements. Public awareness is needed to control air pollution caused due to the display of fireworks.
期刊介绍：
The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
