59 hospitalised after inhaling smoke from crackers in Mumbai
At least 59 people, who participated in Ganpati immersions in Mumbai's Ghatkopar on Tuesday, were hospitalised after they complained of redness in eyes due to smoke from firecrackers. âToxic smoke led to a chemical reaction and caused temporary damage to their eyes,â doctors said. Notably, a study found that firecrackers contain high levels of dangerous metals including mercury and lead.
