Fireworks Smoke and Breathing Safety | Washington DC News
Fireworks may dazzle, but their smoke can be a serious health hazard—especially for those with asthma, emphysema, and other lung conditions. Doctors warn that even neighborhood displays can trigger ER visits as particulate matter builds up before and after the big shows. If you’re vulnerable, plan ahead: stay away from smoke, wear a mask, have meds ready, and take extra care for days afterward. While heat might be the bigger concern at events, lingering smoke can still irritate lungs. Stay safe, breathe easy, and enjoy the holiday responsibly. Thank you to our sponsor Garrett Waller…
