Bhubaneswar, Nov 1: The Orissa High Court has allowed the sale and use of green firecrackers during Diwali in the state.  Green firecrackers are developed by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). What are green firecrackers? Green crackers are made using less polluting raw materials and are designed to have 30% less particulate matter pollution. Their chemical formulation ensures reduced particle emission into the atmosphere. While regular crackers emit about 160 decibels of sound, green crackers’ emission rate is restricted to 110-125 decibels. Three types of green crackers are available in India - Safe Water Releaser (SWAS), Safe Thermite Cracker (STAR) and Safe Minimal Aluminium (SAFAL) crackers. Green crackers don't contain banned chemicals such as lithium, arsenic, barium and lead.
