Wishing You a Safe 4th of July Celebration

Fireworks

Viewing fireworks? Watch the colorful show from a distance.

Exploding fireworks are essentially a number of chemical reactions happening simultaneously or in rapid sequence. When you add some heat, you provide enough activation energy (the energy that kick-starts a chemical reaction) to make solid chemical compounds packed inside the firework combust (burn) with oxygen in the air and convert themselves into other chemicals, releasing smoke and exhaust gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen in the process.

As you know and can see from the information above, these are extremely unsafe and hazardous and best to be viewed from a distance and under professional supervision. So, find a fireworks show in your town or city and then sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
