Are July 4th Fireworks Bad For the Environment?
Fireworks are equal parts lovely and ugly—lovely because, well, they're fireworks, and who doesn't enjoy a good pyrotechnic sky show? The ugly part comes mostly after, in the haze of toxic gases and particles the blasts produce, along with the rain of paper, cardboard, and metal debris, and the lingering trauma to pets and wildlife, who take a lot less pleasure from the bangs and flashes than we do. According to estimates by the American Pyrotechnics Association (APA), the average July 4th in the U.S. will see about 14,000 public fireworks displays. In 2021, the last year for which the APA provides figures, Americans bought and launched more than 428 million lbs. of fireworks. That's an awful lot of ordnance—and it can produce an awful lot of problems. One of the biggest environmental dangers of fireworks displays is the dispersal of fine particles of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and more, measuring just 2.5 microns—or 2.5 millionths of a meter. These so-called PM2.5 particles can become deeply embedded in the lungs and even enter the bloodstream, contributing to decreased lung function, increased respiratory distress, aggravated asthma and COPD, irregular heartbeat, heart attacks, and premature death in people with preexisting heart or lung disease, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). One 2015 study in the journal Atmospheric Environment found that levels of PM2.5 particles rose 42% at 315 firework sites surveyed nationwide during July 4th celebrations. The increases peaked between the hours of 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. and didn't dissipate until noon on July 5. Spikes in some lung conditions may occur from a single fireworks show. "Fireworks massively reduce air quality with their explosions of particulate matter," says Bill Bateman, associate professor in the school of molecular and life sciences at Australia's Curtin University. "This can have a pretty immediate effect on our breathing and our health. In many places around the world there are reported peaks in respiratory problems after fireworks." 'What level of exposure you get depends on your activity levels—for instance, whether you're outdoors—and, if you're indoors, how leaky your house is,' said Jun Wu, a professor of environmental and occupational health at the University of California, Irvine's program in public health, in a 2024 conversation with TIME. 'If you have to go outside, wearing a [N95] mask would be good.' Particles aren't all fireworks produce. According to a 2024 study in Applied Geochemistry, they also release, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide—which can cause lung damage—along with several metals, including aluminum, manganese, and cadmium. Some illegal fireworks may even contain lead, warns the American Lung Association (ALA). It is not generally possible to determine if fireworks contain lead since it won't be listed on the ingredients. The Consumer Products Safety Commission recommends buying only known, reputable brands. Airborne contaminants will ultimately settle out—but that can be a problem because they may wind up in water and soil and on plants. Perchlorates, a common ingredient in fireworks, flares, fertilizer, and solid rocket fuel, can pollute lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, endangering wildlife and entering the drinking water supply. In humans, perchlorates affect the function of the thyroid gland, which can alter metabolism. In infants and babies still in the womb, perchlorates may interfere with normal growth and central nervous system development. Soil, too, collects more than trace amounts of perchlorates, along with metals. By themselves, the perchlorates found in fireworks may not be enough to cause harm, but they add to the overall load of the chemical in the environment, which can ultimately be dangerous. Contamination that winds up in water and soil tends to linger there—perhaps longer than expected. From 1999 to 2009, fireworks displays were set off on Independence Days at Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota. From 2011 to 2015 researchers from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) returned and sampled water from 106 sites and soil from 11 sites in that vicinity. All of them showed perchlorate contamination and fireworks debris—especially on the northeast side of the park, where the pyrotechnics went off. 'The lack of alternative perchlorate sources in the area, such as a military site or agricultural land with applied fertilizers, and the presence of firework debris, suggest that past fireworks are the perchlorate source,' said one USGS scientist in a statement. Animals suffer too, both from the same pollutants that threaten humans and from the noise and light of fireworks displays. One 2023 paper in Pacific Conservation Biology reported that nearly 75% of companion animals studied—from horses to dogs to smaller mammals—showed fear responses to fireworks. Some horses broke paddock fences and sustained injury trying to escape the flashes and bangs. Fireworks displays can interfere with the breeding season of birds, with one study the 2023 paper cites showing that fireworks festivals in Valencia, Spain, in April and May of 2015 reduced the breeding success of house sparrows. When the pyrotechnics were canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sparrow populations bounced back. Independence Day celebrations in California similarly diminished populations of Brandt's Cormorants. "Disturbing roosting migratory birds at night can result in mass deaths," says Bateman. "Disturbing breeding birds can result in colony collapses. Seals and sea lions leave [affected] areas and expend energy swimming away during fireworks." And then there's the problem of litter. Every exploding firework rocket will eventually tumble and flutter down to the ground in a cloud of debris. "There are local peaks in microplastics and other plastic waste after fireworks," says Bateman. "Once in the environment they are there for good effectively." There are alternatives to fireworks. Both drones and laser shows can produce visual spectacles that have no environmental footprint apart from the energy used to operate them, and health and environmental groups are increasingly calling for towns, cities, and individuals to make the switch. The Fourth of July celebrates the founding of the nation. What better way to honor that nation than to keep it peaceful and clean?

Star-spangled bummer
For a decade, Indiana businessman Bob Hamilton has operated six fireworks pop-ups in the weeks leading up to July 4. Most years, it's a great business — he says he brings in about $200,000 for a few weeks of work. But the trade war with China has meant that this year has been anything but normal. And anyone hoping to buy fireworks at the last minute — whether from Hamilton or from pop-ups scattered across the country — is likely to see higher prices and, in some cases, empty shelves. In the first half of the year, Hamilton watched as the tariffs on Chinese goods went from 10% to 145% and then back down to 30%. Around 95% of fireworks are made in China, so there wasn't another major market to turn to. Hamilton played it safe. He bought the bulk of his inventory in April — just before the 145% tariffs took effect — to lock in a better price. He borrowed space from one of his other businesses, a commercial flooring company, to store his merchandise. Assuming that higher prices would mean fewer sales, he leased just four storefronts. "By the time we figured out how to navigate this tariff thing for this year, it was a little bit too late in the game," he says. But the chaos seems to have wiped out some of Hamilton's competition. This week, when he placed another order to restock his shelves, the cost factored in the 30% tariff. "How much of that do we eat to keep our customers happy?" he says. Hamilton ultimately decided to split the difference with his customers. Trump has called them the America First tariffs. The bitter irony is that the tariffs are raining on the most iconic celebration of America. Julie Heckman, executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association From fireworks to backyard barbeques, President Donald Trump's America First tariffs are getting in the way of America's birthday bash. While the biggest impact has fallen on the fireworks industry, the higher tariffs — coupled with stubbornly high consumer prices and a historic low in the American cattle supply — have jacked up the cost of beef, ice cream and other Independence Day staples. This year's price hikes and shortages could preview an even bigger impact on next year's celebrations, when Americans will mark the nation's 250th birthday. Industry watchers say there's a real risk of product shortages and significantly higher prices in 2026. "Trump has called them the America First tariffs," says Julie Heckman, the Executive Director of the American Pyrotechnics Association. "The bitter irony is that the tariffs are raining on the most iconic celebration of America." The question leading into 2026 is largely one of capacity: Will orders come in soon enough, and will there be enough time for producers in China to meet the American demand for pyrotechnics? Chinese manufacturers are making up lost time from last year, and — in advance of America's 250th — the APA expects next year's demand for fireworks from American consumers to surge by 40 to 50%. Uncertainty in the US market after high tariffs took effect meant that Chinese manufacturers "lost several months of vital production time," says Heckman. "That's what's really going to impact 2026." Fireworks are constructed by hand and take up to two days to make, so delays have a meaningful impact. "It's a very laborious and dangerous process," says Heckman. "Think of papier mache layers over a sphere, like wrapping a basketball, gazillions of times." Before the firework is finished, it's placed in the sun to dry. Stacy Schneitter Blake, president of the National Fireworks Association and co-owner of Schneitter Fireworks & Importing in St Joseph, Missouri, echoes Heckman's concerns. July 4 is Americans' second-favorite holiday, after Christmas. And demand for fireworks will likely surge ahead of America's 250th birthday in 2026. The brief window of 145% tariffs this spring "severely disrupted" the supply chain, she says. "Thousands of containers were canceled or delayed, municipal displays were downsized or cut entirely, and companies across the country are absorbing unrecoverable losses." Industry watchers say China's strong domestic market for fireworks and a strong European market also mean that Chinese manufacturers aren't dependent on American buyers. "There's only so long that companies can kind of dance around these tariffs and figure out clever ways to adjust for them, to prevent the price increases from flowing through to consumers," says Martha Gimbel of the Budget Lab at Yale, a non-partisan policy research center. "To paraphrase the classic Christmas song, 'Have yourself a merry little Fourth of July,' because it may be your last without price increases." Hamilton, who says he supported Trump for president, says he's OK with all the uncertainty — for now — especially if it means Americans will get a better deal in the long run. "Do we all wish we weren't paying these extra tariffs? Absolutely," he says. "But I'm willing to sacrifice if I need to, for the greater good." F ireworks are the symbol of Independence Day celebrations. But most popular way to mark Americans' second favorite holiday, after Christmas, is with a cookout, according to Northwestern University's Medill Spiegel Research Center, which tracks consumer behavior. This year, those researchers predict a 5% drop in Independence Day celebrations, largely due to higher prices. Andrew Lokenauth is among those who are cutting back. "These tariffs that were supposed to put America first are making it harder for Americans to celebrate America." For 15 years, Lokenauth has gone all-out for the Fourth of July. The barbecues that he and his wife host in their Tampa, Florida backyard include fireworks, a professional sound system, and mountains of food for 150 guests. "My signature move was always smoking these massive briskets — started them at 3 a.m. to get them perfect by party time," says Lokenauth, who's 38 and works as a financial educator. "And the spread, man, the spread. We'd have everything from pulled pork to grilled chicken. Plus, all these sides my wife makes that everyone fights over." The party was reliably "the highlight of summer for our friends and family," he says. But a few weeks ago, Lokenauth discovered that the price of everything from fireworks to that brisket was way up, and he calculated he was $2,000 over his usual budget. Lokenauth and his wife now plan to host a much smaller party, and make it a potluck. "After 15 years of going all out, it wasn't an easy decision," he says. "It felt like cutting off my right arm." Natalie Flynn, who lives in Washington, DC, can relate. Every year, she squeezes around 30 guests into her 600-square-foot Washington, DC, apartment. Her bathtub becomes the cooler for beer and cocktails, while she grills hot dogs and hamburgers from her building's roof. She makes almost everything from scratch — her homemade ice cream sandwiches are a reliable favorite. At around 8, she hands out sparklers and leads her guests on a walk to the National Mall, where they watch fireworks go off over the Lincoln Memorial. "It's this moment of just joy and jubilance," he says. But a couple of weeks ago, Flynn was taken aback when she noticed that the 5.5 pound bag of Belgian chocolate chips she uses for her ice cream sandwiches are $76 this year, up from $53. Flynn, who's 36 and works two jobs, realized that her particular salute to Uncle Sam was suddenly outside her budget. Flynn's party will now also be a potluck, and there will be fewer sparklers to pass around. "Stuff's not going to get cheaper, so I have to be more mindful of how I spend," she says. "The feast has gotten too expensive." Both Lokenauth and Flynn say they hope this year counts as a blip and that they'll get back to hosting massive Fourth of July parties again soon. "I've always believed the beauty of America is how we can disagree but still fire up the grill together," says Lokenauth. "I've got friends who voted Trump sitting next to folks who voted Harris — and they're both reaching for the same plate of brisket." "These tariffs that were supposed to put America first are making it harder for Americans to celebrate America," he says.

Fireworks business booms this Fourth of July as trade talks fizzle out incoming supplies
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The fireworks industry is expecting to get by this Fourth of July holiday, but trade tensions with China have some worried that sales leading up to America's 250th birthday in 2026 could be a bust. Pyrotechnicians and firework distributors have held out hope that the fireworks will be exempt from President Donald Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports. Tariffs with China are held at 30% after the U.S. and China agreed to pause tariff increases for 90 days. In April, Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports peaked at 145%. However, those rates could shoot back up when the pause ends in August. "It's been a bit of a roller coaster since February with the constant change in the tariffs," Julie Heckman, American Pyrotechnics Association Executive Director, said. Firework Sales Boom As Americans Gear Up For Fourth Of July Celebrations Fireworks are an American tradition, but they rely on Chinese production. Read On The Fox Business App The APA estimates that 99% of backyard consumer fireworks in the U.S. come from China. Heckman said about 90% of professional display fireworks also come from China. "It's almost impossible to produce fireworks in the United States. It's a very laborious process. Everything is made by hand," Heckman said. "You're dealing with explosives. They are highly sensitive to heat, humidity, and friction. It's a very dangerous job." Trump Urged To Take On South Korea Over Tech Regulations That Target Us, Spare China Firework prices remained steady this Fourth of July, but Heckman warned that supply could be low among newly released products. However, industry leaders think the price of fireworks could rise in the next year. "Basically, all the importers contacted their Chinese suppliers and said, 'don't ship my product. I can't afford to pay 145% tariff,'" Heckman said. Nashville, Tennessee is home to one of the nation's largest Fourth of July firework displays. Forty-thousand pounds of fireworks will soar in the sky over the Cumberland River for thirty minutes on Friday. Pyro Shows Inc. President Lansden Hill is the man behind the fuse. His crew bought the fireworks for Music City's Fourth of July celebration a year ago. "The product we use here in Nashville doesn't come on one container. It comes on a lot of containers throughout the year," Hill said. "The fireworks that are used in the show this year weren't subject to any of the new tariffs." Fourth of July celebrations reap huge economic benefits for the cities that host them. Over 355,000 people showed up to last year's Fourth of July celebration in Nashville. The Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. reported about 60% of the annual Fourth of July spectators are visitors. Each year, visitors book about 30,000 hotel rooms and spend about $17.5 million during the Fourth of July holiday, according to NCVC President and CEO Deana Ivey.
