Green Crackers are dubbed as ‘eco-friendly’ crackers and are known to

cause less air and noise pollution as compared to traditional

firecrackers.The CSIR-National Environmental Engineering Research

Institute (CSIR NEERI) defines green crackers as fireworks/ firecrackers

made with a reduced shell size, without use of ash, low usage of raw

materials and/or additives such as dust suppressants to reduce

emissions with specific reference to particulate matter (PM). In simple

terms Green crackers are crackers without harmful chemicals and

cause fewer emissions than conventional firecrackers. Hence, they

cause less air pollution as well as sound pollution.
