There's some doubtful #fraud going on even with the ban on Barium Chloride fireworks.
According to the PubChem-cited data on Barium chloride (NIOSH 2016), the level of BaCl2 for being 'immediately dangerous' is *50 mg/m3*.
Keep this number in mind. cameochemicals.noaa.gov

Meanwhile, I just found a study on ResearchGate which measured the Ba-concentration in a densely populated area of Nagpur in 2008.
This was the observation result 👇 (from: researchgate.net)

Note that the peak concentration of Ba is * 5 mg/m3 * i.e. Just 10% of the IDLH Level (50 mg/m3).
And admittedly, these measurements were conducted in a dense area with diesel generators (although gensets don't affect Ba-concentration, but the particulate matter (PM) levels)

If this pattern of observations is also found repeated in measurements taken in other metro cities (Ba-concentration << 50 mg/m3), then the Supreme Court's judgement on Barium chloride fireworks stands on shaky grounds. @surnell @alok_bhatt @BJP4India @RSSorg @shashank_ssj

.@JaipurDialogues @StringReveals @AtriNeeraj Barium measurements show that its level is mere 10% of the toxic level even during peak Diwali time. SC has banned barium fireworks.

A correction: The peak level is actually 5 micrograms, that is * 0.01% * of the ILDH toxicity level. This is unbelievable!! This point must be raised before the Court quick!!

Another paper measuring Ba-concentration in DELHI in 2008 & 2009 is also cited here. (sciencedirect.com)
In 2008 & 2009, the Barium concentration was 11 & 12 micrograms/m3. The sampling was done at New Delhi branch of Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology

So even in DELHI, the Barium concentrations during Diwali were * 0.02% * of the toxic levels! So even the ban on Barium Fireworks has to go away! @ProfVemsani @harshmadhusudan @Ayuupedia
Must-RT thread on the ban on Barium fireworks.

This is a third paper which measured particulate matter emissions during Diwali, this time in Delhi too. (researchgate.net) But, they don't measure barium in paper.

In all the above three papers, NO ANALYSIS was done wrt the chemical toxicity level parameter! (like comparing barium observed level vs toxicity limit). Instead they compared it with 'pre-Diwali' barium levels.

This is totally misplaced, as these levels would doubtlessly rise during Diwali.
The main thing to analyse here is that: "Are they crossing the toxicity limits or not?" This question was NEVER answered in any of the three papers. A very crucial thing neglected!

.@ARanganathan72 Sir, in this thread I've countered SC ban on barium fireworks based on research papers. Barium concentration is way below the levels reqd to deem it toxic. Please go through thread. 🙏

Another imp question is: "For how much time does barium stay in atmosphere?" Results from 2 of the above 3 papers shown below 👇.
Barium hardly stays for more than ~1.5 days in atmosphere.
Kala coats are selling panic by using chemical names, nothing else.

Comments based on the court judgement: The court
a) permitted indoctrination
b) banned chemical without considering that studies contradict their decision

First it passes unscientific orders, then holds others for Contempt of Court. 😂😂 This is why this CoC law need to be immediately scrapped.
