Green Diwali, clean Diwali … With concerns over air pollution rising due to the rising AQI (Air Quality Index), we are all hearing a lot about green crackers these days. With the Chandigarh Administration giving a go-ahead to the use of green crackers on Diwali and Gurpurab, let us find out how how are they different from our traditional conventional crackers.<\/p>\n

What are green crackers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Green crackers are the crackers that emit pollutants at a 30% lesser rate than their conventional counterparts. They are specially developed by the National Environmental and Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), a subsidiary of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).<\/p>\n

Manufacturers need to sign a deal with the CSIR to make fireworks using the green cracker formulation. Only the manufacturers who have signed a deal with CSIR are allowed to manufacture these crackers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The components and elements required for creating a green cracker are not easily available for everyone which may be a reason for many manufacturers to not take it up.<\/p>\n

However, almost 70% of India\u2019s crackers are manufactured in Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, which continues to be the leading supplier of green crackers.<\/p>\n

-The\u00a0raw materials<\/strong>\u00a0used in these crackers are\u00a0less polluting.\u00a0 <\/strong>Their chemical formulation ensures that the particle emission into the atmosphere is reduced by suppressing the dust. These crackers release water vapour or air as a dust suppressant and for diluting the gaseous emissions.<\/p>\n

– Regular crackers emit about 160 decibels of sound<\/strong>\u00a0whereas green crackers\u2019 emission rate is limited to\u00a0110-125 decibels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

-To differentiate green crackers from traditional ones, a green logo and Quick Response (QR) have been developed.<\/p>\n

-Green crackers also have polluting chemicals like\u00a0aluminium, barium, potassium nitrate, and carbon,<\/strong>\u00a0but the\u00a0quantity is so reduced<\/strong>\u00a0that the emission is about 30 pc. Some of the green crackers do not use these chemicals at all. But they\u00a0do not contain barium nitrate<\/strong>\u00a0which is one of the most hazardous elements in traditional firecrackers.<\/p>\n
