LBCA discourages the use of Fireworks!
Although only trace amounts of phosphorus are included in fireworks, phosphorus residues accelerate the eutrophication of lakes. Where lakes are already laden with nitrogen, small additional amounts of phosphorus are a cause for concern. Eutrophication is linked to algal blooms and cyanobacteria, which can have a negative impact on drinking water quality, fishing, wildlife and human health. The 2023 water quality tests of Lake Barron tell us that we should take better care of our lake. In addition, fireworks can be the cause of forest fires and damage the health of animals both domestic and wild.
