f@#k.. facts are shit...opps..HAPPY DIWALI

Facts about bursting crackers -

• An increase in air pollution by six to ten times on Diwali in terms of SPM, nitrogen oxides (Nox), sulphur dioxide (SO2), etc.
• An increase in noise pollution above 125 decibel (dB), which is above the tolerable limits, and can cause deafness.
• An increase in incidents of respiratory diseases such as acute bouts of asthma, bronchitis and heart attacks.

Though the above facts are presented with respect to Delhi, the same would apply to any place where fireworks are used.

Some more facts -

• The firework industry in India produces roughly Rs 250 crores worth of fireworks annually. Crackers are made in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh, with the infamous Sivakasi (90% of the production).
  
• Out of the 11 million child labourers in India, approximately one lakh are employed in the fire works industry alone. Mostly young children are employed because cracker making requires small and tender hands.
  
• Some of the children employed are as young as 3 years and as they attain the age of 15-16, they are thrown out of the job by the employer. These children work for a grueling 16--18 hours each day in unhygienic, dingy, make-shift and suffocating factories-- all for a pitiful sum of Rs 10 -15 per day.
  
• Children in these factories handle chemicals like sulphur, potash, phosphorous, nitrates and chlorates that cause deadly diseases of the lungs, kidneys, skin and eyes. Incase of an accident, these children get trapped and are suffocated to death as was reported a few years back.{this information z copied frm a page among milion frm goggle :) }
