Journal 20-Risky Beauty

Firework displays in Hawaii never gets old. To start off the new year,once it hits midnight many beautiful aerials light up the dark sky. Families begin to light up any fireworks that they have, so nothing goes to waste. But with fireworks there are some health problems involved that is dangerous to both the environment and our health. When fireworks are set off the chemicals react and then they leave a large trail of smoke in the air that lingers around until it fades. Firework shows generate about 90 tons of sky-borne lead pollution. The smoke in the air causes people to have a hard time breathing. 13.5% of Hawaii's population has a hard time breathing. Even thought firworks may be beautiful and fun to play with they do become risky and do create both environmental and health problems.
