A study by the government has revealed that the particles left in the air after a fireworks display are bad for your health. 

According to USA Today, when one firework explodes it leaves tiny little particles, 30 times thinner than a human hair, in the air and if you ingest enough of them you can have long and short term effects. Especially if you already have lung problems.

They say that the max period for these particles being in the air is between 9PM and 10PM on July 4.  So beware. In fact, you should panic ... panic a lot.  Maybe wear a gas mask and take your vitamins. Who is to say.

I just love their beauty and majesty. Enjoy the show kids.  Anything worth seeing or doing is usually bad for you.
