Fireworks look beautiful, but they leave more behind than smoke. Scientists found they spread fine particles, leftover debris, and airborne chemicals. These can settle into the air and water around us. The study says the mess may harm local ecosystems and raise health risks. The bright show lasts a minute, the pollution lingers far longer. The team is not asking to ban fireworks. They want people to see the hidden cost and clean up after the display.
