Fireworks is released at once. Similar to a chrysanthemum, but with long-burning silver or gold stars that produce a soft, dome-shaped weeping willow-like effect. Fireworks pose risks of injury to people, and of damage, largely as a fire hazard. Fireworks produce smoke and dust that may contain residues of heavy metals, sulfur-coal compounds and some low concentration toxic chemicals. These by-products of fireworks combustion will vary depending on the mix of ingredients of a particular firework. (The color green, for instance, may be produced by adding the various compounds and salts of barium, some of which are toxic, and some of
Barium sulfate mixture and make it hard to see the color of the indicator. Barium sulfate added to the mixture binds with these particles, making them heavier so they fall to the bottom, leaving a clearer solution. In colorimetry, barium sulfate is used as a near-perfect diffuser when measuring light sources. In metal casting, the moulds used are often coated with barium sulfate in order to prevent the molten metal from bonding with the mould. It is also used in brake linings, anacoustic foams, powder coatings, and root canal filling. Barium sulfate is used as a catalyst support when selectively hydrogenating functional
