The festival of lights, Diwali, is a cherished occasion celebrated with joy, colors, lights, and togetherness.
However, it also brings unique challenges to health and safety due to increased pollution, heavy festive foods, fire hazards, and often hectic schedules. To make this Diwali both joyful and safe, here are some practical tips to keep you and your loved ones healthy and secure. 1.
Firecracker Safety Opt for Eco-Friendly Firecrackers: Choose green, eco-friendly crackers that produce less smoke and are less harmful to the environment. Maintain Distance: Ensure a safe distance while lighting fireworks. Keep children and pets away from the area.
Use Safety Gear: Always light crackers with a long matchstick, wear cotton clothes, and keep a bucket of water or fire extinguisher nearby for emergencies. Dispose of Fireworks Properly: Once the fireworks are used, soak them in water before disposal to prevent any accidental fires. 2.
Preventing Air and Noise Pollution Celebrate Mindfully: The traditional way of lighting diyas, lamps, and lanterns can be just as festive as firecrackers while significantly reducing pollution levels. Encourage Community Celebrations: Instead of individual firecrackers, join community fire.
