Ban On Use Of Barium & Other Prohibited Chemicals

The Supreme Court emphasized a nationwide ban on barium and other prohibited chemicals in firecrackers, highlighting its commitment to public health and the environment.
In October 2018, the Supreme Court took a significant step by imposing a ban on the production and sale of all crackers except ‘green crackers’ and those designed to emit reduced emissions, commonly referred to as improved crackers.
The court also prohibited the manufacture and sale of ‘joined crackers,’ which are long rows of crackers joined together. Additionally, the use of barium salts in fireworks was banned, and it was mandated that the noise levels of the crackers should adhere to permissible limits.
In a decision this September, the Supreme Court rejected a plea by the firecracker manufacturers’ association to permit the use of joined crackers and to incorporate barium with improved additives in green crackers.
