Normal fireworks display?
About 40,000.
So the display being managed by the Interior Department/Parks Service will explode about 40 times the number of pyrotechnic devices as normal- which all produce a fine particulate of residue in the air.
The Interior Department is worried, but not about YOUR health, or the health of those who attend, or who live in the area where that fine particulate will change the air quality…. For the worse….. during a heat wave.
In fact, they are so concerned that they have issued a health alert, warning people to stay inside as much as possible, and to wear an N-95 mask to filter out those fine particulates.
But here’s the thing- the Interior Department issued this as an internal memo to its own personnel. They did not think to issue it as a public announcement, and when asked about it, refused to comment.
