DIWALI or DEEPAWALI is an important great Hindu festival over all the world. Let us make your Diwali, a healthy and happy Diwali.
Diwali is the festival of lights and bonding with near and dear ones. However, during Diwali, the level of air pollution in most cities reaches an all-time high, due to fireworks. It is good to buy as little firecrackers as possible because that can help us spend less and can also stop us from Polluting our Environment.
Diwali – the festival of happiness, is not necessarily happy for everyone!
Indians burst a large variety of crackers during the Diwali festival, one louder than the other causing noise pollution and each one of them releasing fumes that are extremely toxic in nature causing air pollution.
Every year on this occasion the spike in air pollutants leads to various respiratory issues.
This results in the formation of stubborn smog that not only limits vision during early hours but also causes severe HEALTH PROBLEMS in kids, and the elderly.
The problem of pollution is because of the effects of fireworks in Diwali. In this case the number of people suffering from complaints of irritation in the EYES and THROAT, DRY COUGH and FEVER.
The upper respiratory can happen at any time, but people allergic to fumes suffer the most.
The lower respiratory tract infection are any infections in the lungs or below the voice box. These include allergic bronchitis and allergic asthma.

This condition develops due to the deadly chemicals used in crackers release fumes and gases that can lead to the inflammation of the bronchial tubes leading to acute attacks.
