Researchers have developed nitrogen-rich pyrotechnic substances. They burn cleaner and with less smoke. They also require fewer colour-producing chemicals. Up to now, they've been used for large-scale public displays (rock concerts, circuses, etc.). Cost and intensity of the explosions are two challenges that these fireworks face. Another factor to be considered is labour conditions. As you can imagine, the manufactuer of fireworks is dangerous. Yet child labour has been used, in countries in Asia and South America. An alternative is to choose UK manufactured fireworks, such as from this company: kimboltonfireworks.co.uk Sort of. Researchers have developed nitrogen-rich pyrotechnic substances.
