While New Year’s Day came with equal parts joy and hopeful anticipation, the annual barrage of fireworks also brought in a slew of hazards that are harmful to health.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) expressed concern at spikes in Metro Manila’s air pollution during the region's New Year’s Eve celebrations. Just before 1am of January 1, 2015, a real-time monitoring station in one of Metro Manila’s cities recorded the highest level of PM10 pollutants at 2,000 micrograms per normal cubic meter (mcg/Ncm). The normal ambient guideline value of PM10 is 60mcg/Ncm, according to the DENR.
