Why are so many places banning fireworks from Sichuan Guan News Materials and Pictures? Relevant departments and regions explained: The Sichuan Basin’s atmospheric environment capacity is inherently insufficient and banning fireworks is out of environmental and safety considerations. What are the reasons for banning fireworks? The reporter combed and found that relevant departments and cities and states Relevant policies are introduced for safety and environmental reasons. Recently, the Atmospheric Environment Division of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment stated through the Sichuan Political Consultation Platform that due to the special landform characteristics of the Sichuan Basin, compared with other provinces (cities, districts), the atmospheric environment capacity is inherently insufficient and the diffusion conditions are poor. The emissions from fireworks and firecrackers are Pollutants accumulate quickly and cannot be effectively removed in a short time. The Atmospheric Environment Division of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment stated that analysis of air quality monitoring data in recent years shows that the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers will significantly increase air pollution, and in severe cases will lead to heavy pollution days. Taking the Spring Festival of 2021 as an example, due to the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers, the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in 17 counties (cities, districts) in Sichuan Province increased rapidly in a short period of time, and the hourly concentration of PM2.5 exceeded the limit (hourly PM2. 5 concentration exceeded 500 micrograms per cubic meter), 5 cities experienced severe pollution days (the daily average PM2.5 concentration exceeded 150 micrograms per cubic meter, there were 15 severely polluted days throughout the year, and fireworks and firecrackers accounted for one-third ). Statistics from the Guang'an Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau also support this issue: Before the entire area of ??Guang'an District was banned from burning fireworks and firecrackers, from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival in 2021, the city had 56 hours of mild pollution and 8 hours of moderate pollution. There were 11 hours of severe pollution and 3 hours of serious pollution. The air quality rate was only 82.1%, seriously polluting the atmospheric environment. After the ban on burning and setting off fireworks and firecrackers in the entire Guang'an District in 2022, the city was lightly polluted from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival in 2022. 15 hours, 5 hours of moderate pollution, no severe or above pollution, the air quality rate was 93.8%, an increase of 11.7 percentage points year-on-year, the average PM2.5 value dropped to 40.6 micrograms per cubic meter, the environmental improvement was very obvious. "Set off fireworks and firecrackers will seriously pollute the atmosphere and endanger people's health. When fireworks and firecrackers burn, they will release toxic and harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide, along with a large amount of chemical smoke and dust.

These will have a great impact on the environment and further endanger people's health. " Guang'an Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau stated. In its reply, Neijiang Municipal Public Security Bureau also mentioned safety considerations: Fireworks and firecrackers are flammable and explosive dangerous items. Once a safety accident occurs, it will bring harm to people's lives and property. In recent years, fires and environmental pollution caused by the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers have gradually become major social problems affecting the healthy development of cities. The city government’s decision to ban the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers in prohibited areas is based on relevant regulations.
