Abstract
AbstractThe global tradition of fireworks at festivals causes significant environmental harm, including air, water, noise and light pollution, and impacts on human health.

This commentary examines evidence for the detrimental effects of fireworks on the environment, human health and wildlife. Alternatives like drone displays, laser shows and eco‐friendly decorations are proposed, along with stricter regulations to curb firework impacts.
