Say goodbye to the old year with a loud bang – for many Austrians, fireworks are an inseparable part of the new year. But the custom is certainly not without controversy: year after year, experts, from doctors to firefighters to environmentalists, warn about the dangers and consequences that fireworks pose. What do you think of this tradition?
Firecrackers pose numerous dangers that are often underestimated. Serious injuries such as burns, hearing loss or even loss of limbs occur every year – usually caused by improper use or poor quality fireworks. Therefore, it is important to follow the recommended safety measures. At the same time, many animals suffer from increasing noise pollution every year, which is why there are constant calls for stricter rules for fireworks.
How are you spending New Year’s Eve? Are you planning to watch fireworks? Are you perhaps planning to light fireworks or firecrackers yourself? What do you think of this habit? We look forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments!
