This study was designed to test the hypotheses that pyrotechnic firework displays introduce significant amounts of toxic metals ...
These releases, as demonstrated by exposure assessment air pollution studies [16, 25], are episodic in nature but can potentially be significant emission sources of metals. We have confirmed this time-dependent increase in airborne metal concentrations throughout the U.S. by using a 10 year ...
The fireworks activity in Christmas and New Year is the culprit of a substantial increase in the particles pollution during those festivity dates in Mexico City. The fireworks' thrilling explosions fill the air with small particles full of metals and organic and inorganic species, and noxious gases...

Pollution Fireworks produce smoke and dust that may contain residues of heavy metals, sulfur-coal compounds and some low concentration toxic chemicals. These by-products of fireworks combustion will vary depending on the mix of ingredients of a particular firework. (The color green, for instance, ...
