the Eye injury, serious impairment of hearing or have damaged parts of the body. We all know the dangers of it if it goes wrong for the fireworks, as well as the arrows, the air to enter, not all the hazards are gone. What will be the impact of a fireworks display for our health and for the environment?
We’ll be right next door in the house when we are on Wednesday at 0: 00 hours of each other the best of luck, and that is to celebrate it by fireworks in the sky in the shot, but the question is whether this is a good way to keep everyone healthy by 2020 to come.
now, Though, that fireworks are to many people in the netherlands, for shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches or an asthma attack.
Particulate matter is the major cause of this is irritation in the bronchial tubes, coming in by the tens of millions of kilos of fireworks which we stand. It is important to get the pieces of metal that are to be released.
the Metal allow for the colors of fireworks display as
, According to the Environment, sitting in fireworks, copper, barium, strontium, and antimony, and, when the illegal fireworks are also cadmium. From the given concentrations of the metals are toxic to humans.
when you stand out, ensure that is metallic to ensure that the fireworks displays for the beautiful colors and shapes in the air to accept it. According to Flemming Cassee, a specialist from the institute for public health and in the area of air pollution, react with metals quite easily with other chemicals, which can lead to irritation of the respiratory tract will be enhanced.
finally, It is to be longfonds, warned last week, that’s for sure zevenhonderdduizend across the united states “embracing the Old and the New’ do, but according to Cassee, even people who are not normally so easily irritated airways and will have to suffer.
Vuurwerkverbod may be strengthened: it should be, you know, Particulate matter may be due to missing ‘any’
a new year, a great chance has been in a dense fog, and that it would be very hard blows, help this at all? Therefore, the wind and the fijnstofwolken do not go to areas where humans live, causing the particles to cover a larger area to be spread.
Especially in the urban areas, where the buildings are higher than this, it can be done, according to Cassee, “no way,” and continues to the inlet of the particulate matter, the newly chipped and fireworks again and again.
In the vuurwerkpiek the amount of particulate matter of up to 1,000 micrograms per cubic meter 50 micrograms of the standard. It is to be longfonds stated that the air pollution can be compared to the Indian city of Delhi.
The situation in Delhi is so severe that people there are sick of falling down, according to Cassee. That’s not happening, is because it is an unhealthy situation, just an hour’s time.
you can See It at any time of year: the dry and the fog is Still much unknown about the metal in the body,
The metal parts of the fireworks, dissolve easily, and, according to Cassee “there is no doubt to the inflammation in the respiratory tract. But how soon that will be restored is unknown.
for example, If these metals in the bloodstream can also be of a heart disease, but the extent is not clear. It is, of course, so that the respiratory effect on the heart. Due to shortness of breath, the heart has to work harder to pump blood, and if someone has heart problems, this could lead to, for example, a heart attack, leading.
now, Cassee think of is that the metallic particles in the brain will end up, but it also is true that a well-research into this is lacking.
Criticism of the plastic knetterballen < / p> in Addition to the health problems it causes, the fireworks are also problems related to the environment. Some of that pollution will be shown.
So this year there will be criticism of the so-called “knetterballen’ just the fireworks that are lit on the streets, thrown out, and then a couple of seconds of cracking. Problem: knetterballen come in a plastic sleeve. And then to lie down. While there is increasingly more attention for the prevention of plastic pollution.

The vuurwerkresten on the ground they may also contain heavy metals. Through the rain, which eventually end up in ground and surface water, where they are not biodegradable and can be broken down, and thus slow to build up.
In the Dutch surface water is the kopernorm will be overwritten. An estimated 18 percent of the kopervervuiling in the Dutch countryside, it is coming from the fireworks.
Millions of Dutch birds are flying in the night
As a lot of dog owners, from our own experience can you be able to react to the fireworks. This is true not only for dogs but also wild animals. So, to scare the birds from the sound of it, and often fly with each pop operation.
midnight, is that the effect is so strong that the neerslagradars of the meteorological office for measuring bird flock flight, and, for example, in the direction of the North sea to the draw.
research data from the University of Amsterdam shows that the effect of the fireworks of the new year also leads to a massive flight of birds in the Dutch countryside, such as the Biesbosch national park and the Wadden sea.
According to the Society, show them data on that at the turn of the year, a total of millions of Dutch birds in flight. They will climb to an altitude of 500 meters, and areas are often towards the open sea. It also risks involve: for a long time not to see all the birds are well placed in the dark house.
this year, the impact of the fireworks startled the birds should be clearly visible in the weerradars, the he said. This is because there is no rainfall.
