Diwali is the one festival in India which is celebrated by all irrespective of caste, creed and religion. Diwali is celebrated to acknowledge the victory of good over evil.But with the changing time the style of celebrating Diwali has also changed drastically.
Now Diwali celebrations mean electric illumination and bursting noisy fire crackers. This change in the celebration style has imposed many negative effects on the environment; some of the effects are listed below:
  • Excessive air pollution
  • Excessive noise pollution
  • Soil pollution
  • Excessive power consumption
  • Consumerism (excess consumption means excess use of raw material)
Besides these environmental effects the modern style of celebrating Diwali also leads to various health hazards. Some of the major health hazards are listed below:
  • Hearing loss
  • High blood pressure
  • Sleeping disturbances
  • Asthma
  • Headache
  • Irritability
  • Skin allergies
  • Fatigue
  • Eye related problems

How to Celebrate Eco-Friendly Dewali?

Fireworks and safety tips:-
  • Always use under adult supervision.
  • Purchase only legal fireworks, available at approved stands.
  • Read and follow instructions given on the fireworks packs.
  • Always keep water and sand nearby, and a water hose pipe if possible.
  • Fireworks are for strict outdoor use.
  • Never try to make your own fireworks.
  • Never relight fireworks that appear to have gone out. Wait for 15 minutes, and then soak the firework in a bucket of water.
  • Only light one firework at a time.
  • Never allow small children to go near fireworks.
  • Store in a cool dry place.
  • Never lean over top of fireworks to light them.
  • Tie hair back, wear caps, wear safety goggles and no loose fitting clothes. Wear cotton clothes, and cover your body as much as possible. Shoes are a must.
  • Sparklers should be immersed in sand or water bucket as soon as they appear out - they are still very hot and are known to cause the maximum number of accidental burns to children.
  • After you finish — be responsible. Make arrangement to clear up all the mess the next morning. Wash your hands and feet, and firework material can be toxic, and s bad for your health.

Also WE CAN HAVE A CRACKERS SHOW FOR 2 HOURS IN A COMMON PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN SEE AND ENJOY THE CRACKERS, INSTEAD OF EACH DOING AT THEIR HOME IN A SMALL WAY AND MAKING THE WHOLE CITY DUSTY WITH PAPER
  • IF IN A COMMON PLACE
  • THE SOUND WILL BE ONLY FOR A PARTICULAR TIME
  •  THE PAPER DUST WILL BE ONLY IN ONE PLACE
  • THE COST OF DIVALI CELEBRATIONS CAN BE REDUCED
  • NO NEIGHBOURS ENVY
  • ONLY A LITTLE OF AIR AND SOUND POLLUTION
  • CAN BE HAD IN A PLACE FAR FROM HOSPITALS
  • SAFE MEASURES CAN BE ENSURED IN THAT PLACE
  • MONITORING OF THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE IS EASY
  • ENJOYMENT CAN BE SHARED BY ALL AT THE SAME PLACE
  •  A GET-TOGETHER IS EASY

Happy Diwali To you All ....

Wastewater reuse On-site wastewater reuse can reduce water use in both urban and rural households. At present, most homes use potable (drinkable) water for practically everything in the house and garden. We are literally flushing our drinking water down the toilet! The articles Reducing water demand, Rainwater and Outdoor water use also have information on reducing potable water use. Opportunities to reuse wastewater and regulation of its treatment vary according to where you live. Urban households typically have a connection to a centralised, or reticulated, sewage system, whereas rural households manage their wastewater on site. Check with your local council or state health authority for advice on the regulations in your area. Two types of wastewater are created in a home: greywater and blackwater. Greywater is wastewater from non-toilet plumbing fixtures such as showers, basins and taps. Blackwater is water that has been mixed with waste from the toilet. Because of th...

Tips to ensure pure drinking water

Drinking contaminated water is the number one cause of illness and with the rise in the number of cases of monsoon diseases like cholera and typhoid, it is highly essential that you ensure you are drinking only pure water. During monsoons, the chances of contracting these diseases are higher as water gets contaminated due to water logging, unsanitary conditions, open sewage etc. Eating or drinking unhygienic food and water can transmit the virus easily into your system in turn making you sick. While basics like washing your hands properly before you eat and eating home-cooked meals to avoid infections are important, here are some tips to ensure you are drinking pure, clean water. The very first thing to keep in mind is to drink water that is boiled and filtered. Do not drink tap water as it isn’t potable (safe for drinking). When you go out, carry water from home instead of drinking outside water as you do not know if it is pure or not. If someone is ill...

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION CONTROL AND PREVENTION

Image
Jerry Spiegel and Lucien Y. Maystre Over the course of the twentieth century, growing recognition of the environmental and public health impacts associated with anthropogenic activities (discussed in the chapter Environmental Health Hazards) has prompted the development and application of methods and technologies to reduce the effects of pollution. In this context, governments have adopted regulatory and other policy measures (discussed in the chapter Environmental Policy) to minimize negative effects and ensure that environmental quality standards are achieved. The objective of this chapter is to provide an orientation to the methods that are applied to control and prevent environmental pollution. The basic principles followed for eliminating negative impacts on the quality of water, air or land will be introduced; the shifting emphasis from control to prevention will be considered; and the limitations of building solutions for individual environmental media will be examined. It...
