Barium is poisonous and radioactive, but is great for vivid green colors in fireworks. Want some cancer? Whoops, I mean fireworks. Copper based colors are used for blue fireworks, and they release dioxins, which cause – you guessed it – cancer. Pretty much any color of fireworks has got some of the “healthy” components, including strontium, lithium, aluminum, rubidium and so on. Fireworks are a threat to health, and are especially irritating to those suffering from asthma. Water supply contamination, and acid rain are additional possible “benefits” of fireworks. A study, on Oklahoma lake, showed that within 14 hours after the fireworks, perchlorate levels rose from 24 to more than thousand times the mean baseline value! It took from 20 to 80 days for those concentrations to revert to normal levels.

We’ve chosen those that seem to be mentioned the most, and that made list more diverse in holidays as well as more world wide, and there is no special ranking, though if the data how much pollution each of the events causes was available, we would have used that. Obviously the more the pollution, the better the fireworks. Finally we begin with our list of the biggest and best fireworks displays around the world.
