Description
Pyrotechnics are potentially capable of creating ear-damaging sound, eye-damaging light, and airborne toxic chemicals. While damage to the ears and eyes can be dramatic and obvious, an article published this month [check past issues] in the Journal of Pyrotechnics focuses on potentia; health problems from inhalation of the smoke.
Both indoor and outdoor pyrotechnics are used in a wide variety of locations such as theaters, theme parks, outdoor arenas, and both indoor and outdoor movie and TV filming locations. For this reason, the article considers the hazards of indoor theatrical effects, consumer fireworks, and outdoor professional effects. The article also includes some very basic material which is well-known to pyrotechnicians, but may be helpful to readers from the theatrical and entertainment industries. Copies of the article can be obtained from ACTS FACTS for postage and copying costs of $2.50.
