Most people enjoy fireworks, but drifting smoke can cause breathing problems for some.
Whether attending a display or celebrating in your backyard, sensitive populations are advised to take precautions.
Fireworks can cause serious burns and eye injuries as well. The Iowa Department of Public Health encourages families to make sure an adult supervises fireworks and keeps young children from playing with or igniting them.
And pick up litter and dispose of any unused fireworks in a safe manner.
