Disney works on cleaner fireworks technology

ANAHEIM, Calif. - (KRT) - The Walt Disney Co. is working on technology to cut smoke from fireworks, including use of compressed air launchers verses black powder to shoot rockets, the South Coast Air Quality Management District said Friday.

Disney could implement the technology next year. The company is also working on cutting-edge technology possibly for three to four years down the road that will reduce smoke-producing compounds when fireworks burst in the air, yet keep the pyrotechnics vibrant and colorful against the night sky, AQMD said.

In an interview nearly two months ago, Disney officials said they had reduced the charges during the shows by 15 percent in the summer compared to last year. They wouldn't give details on other mitigation measures, saying they were under development.

While some residents enjoy Disney's summer and holiday fireworks displays, others complain about fireworks residue landing on their cars and homes. They also have expressed concern about the possible long-term health effects of the fallout, on which there are no definitive studies.

AQMD officials said Friday that a study they conducted last year - based on particle samples collected from neighborhoods around Disneyland - does not show any harmful health effects, at least over a short period of time.

The amounts of some metals found present in the air after a fireworks show were well below the amounts allowed under the California Environmental Protection Agency standards, officials said.
