In one of the most unpatriotic moves of it’s time, USA Today reports that 4th of July can actually be hazardous to YOUR HEALTH. And not in the fun way either like fireworks exploding in your hand and what not…
Turns out that air pollution skyrockets on 4th of July due to the fireworks and can cause issues with your lungs. These include asthma attacks, shortness of breath, or even a heart attack or stroke!
So when is the most dangerous time to be out in it according to this highly un-American study?
9-10pm is the peak hour for soot and particles to fully engulf the country, but most times all damage is undone by July 5th…so live dangerously this holiday.
