Common areas for fireworks
CEBU, Philippines - The Department of Environment and Natural Resources-7 urged local chief executives to designate common areas for fireworks during the holidays to reduce harm to health and environment.
DENR regional executive director Maximo O. Dichoso also reminded the public to avoid burning tires, which produce carbon monoxide and other poisonous metals such as zinc.
Dichoso said designating a common area for setting off fireworks and other pyrotechnics displays could avoid possible harm to the people.
Dichoso said these pollutants would form greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide.
Aside from designating common areas for fireworks, the DENR-7 chief also reminded the people to be environmentally-conscious by promoting responsible solid waste management.
Dichoso added that it is important for the public to reduce their garbage during the holidays. – (FREEMAN)
