Answer:

    Respected Principal, teachers and dear friends Good morning! Today I would like to talk about a subject that we all do know but scarcely pay any heed to. On the days of festivals most of us burst firecrackers, not realising the amount of pollution they cause. Thus, we are ourselves degrading the environment by causing atmospheric pollution. The suspended particulate matter and gases like nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide are added to the atmosphere when a cracker is burst. The increase in atmospheric pollution gives rise to respiratory problems like asthma and bronchitis. The cases of heart attacks and strokes multiply. The noise pollution created by bursting of crackers may cause deafness also. We may enjoy the bright light and the sound of explosion for a few seconds, but we must not ignore the permanent damage caused by bursting of crackers. Hence, it becomes the duty of each one of us to keep our environment clean and refrain from bursting crackers. Let us put an end to this wasteful exercise of burning our hand earned money. Thank you
