Abstract

Fireworks are any composition or device designed to produce a visible or audible effect made outof hazardous chemicals. The key hazards involved in firework industries are toxic fumes, fire andexplosion. The objective of this review is to differentiate between old firecrackers and ecofriendly/green firecrackers and their health hazards. Published articles were searched from Med Line, PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane library. It is observed that the air concentration of heavy metalsfound in old firecrackers was high during and after firecrackers bursting activities which lead tohealth effects like skin, respiratory, neurological, multiple degrees of burn etc. In ecofriendly firecrackers, the reduction in the chemicals like barium nitrate, potassium nitrate and sulphur leadsto reduction in PM2.5. Enough information is not available related to the ecofriendly firecrackers;hence, drawing a conclusion related to their health at present is difficult. The review identifiedmany health effects as well as accidents (or incidents) related to firecrackers bursting,manufacturing and transportation. Ecofriendly/ Green firecrackers area better substitute of oldfirecrackers as their composition has less harmful contents. Further studies are required toconclude the effects of ecofriendly/green fire crackers as the complete list of their formulations arestill not available.

环保（绿色）鞭炮与旧鞭炮及其健康影响的系统评价

烟花是由危险化学物质制成的，旨在产生可见或可听效果的任何组合物或装置。烟花工业的主要危害是有毒烟雾、火灾和爆炸。本综述的目的是区分旧鞭炮和环保/绿色鞭炮及其健康危害。从Med Line、PubMed、谷歌Scholar和Cochrane图书馆检索已发表的文章。研究发现，爆竹燃放过程中及燃放后空气中重金属含量较高，对人体健康造成皮肤、呼吸、神经、多种程度烧伤等影响。在环保鞭炮中，硝酸钡、硝酸钾和硫等化学物质的减少导致PM2.5的减少。关于环保鞭炮的信息还不够多，因此，目前很难对其健康做出结论。该审查确定了许多健康影响以及与鞭炮爆炸、制造和运输有关的事故(或事件)。环保/绿色鞭炮是旧鞭炮的更好替代品，因为它们的成分有害物质较少。由于目前还没有完整的配方清单，因此需要进一步的研究来确定环保/绿色鞭炮的效果。
