Every year the festival of light (Diwali) is celebrated with great enthusiasm in India. Recently, the Pollution Control Board has appealed to citizens and traders not to use or deal in banned firecrackers such as Lava Bomb 1 to 5, Shera atom bomb, confetti, Bo force Gun, Fire ball, Lal Mirchi Cony 2000 Buz, Beautiful Flowers, Shooting stars, and Crackling King. These fire crackers were banned as they generate noise levels between 125 and 145 decibels, thereby violating noise pollution limits. The department of explosives is supposed to implement the standards in accordance with the information received by it from the Pollution Control Board. Further, according to the Environment Protection Agency EPA (1988), the noise code states: “The manufacture, sale or use of fire crackers generating noise level exceeding 125 decibels to 145 decibels at 4 meter distance from the point of bursting is prohibited”. After observing that the prescribed noise levels were not properly adhered to during the festival, the Pollution Control Board sent reports to the Department of Explosives for information and action. Even though the Pollution Control Board appealed to the citizens to refrain from buying these banned crackers and asked traders not to sell such offending fire crackers, the appeal fail on deaf ears, and noise pollution limits were flagrantly violated.
