I was pointing out that fireworks were being used in a way that lowers the local air pollution for residents, for days, not just the evening. You can say 'barely registered' but I've shown you a clear case of it very much registering in terms of effects on local populous.

    Bonfires are not fireworks. Guy Fawkes Night is infamously filled with tons of bonfires.

    I saw a bonfire with a calculated pallet cost of $100k. That's something. Fireworks are a big part of the bonfire celebration and put pollutants into the lower atmosphere. The example I gave is more firecrackers being used at street-level.
