Perchlorate has been around for thousands of years. We going to stop making bullets out of led because of led poison? We going to stop using gasoline because all the emissions from internal combustion engines causes cancer, lung problems, global warming, etc? And dont get me started on camp fires..... Sure massive doses of perchlorate to kids is a bad thing.... why would any parents be letting their kids get exposed to that much smoke?

I think Trump wants children to enjoy fireworks and grow up with those experiences. I dont think he wants infants to be brain damaged. You guys want a world with no red meat, no alcohol, no tobacco, no fun? Go create that world without me, ill gladly stay here.

Its not the smoke it is all that chemicals falling into the water sources that is the problem.

Your instant reaction is telling of how much you are shilling for Trump (even if you say you are not).

All of those things you mentioned can be done better, cleaner, and safer. Bitching because people prove how damaging things like the chemicals instead of understanding that there are ways to do things better. This is similar to being crying about light bulbs or plastic grocery bags.

Trump is perfectly happy to force a woman to use her body as a incubator for a bunch of cells that eventually turn into a human, but protecting those children once they are alive from brain damage because he likes the pretty colors and loud booms is asking too much.

Americans love their fireworks, shame it is causing noticeable brain damage in our children and shitty for our environment. Not to mention that the 4th of July is extended by months apparently to the people in every neighborhood I have ever lived in sending off fireworks from about May 20th to easily August.

Come on Chief Kicking Ass, where's the big shit, lol.

Funny, but true. Even at the Reservations, you really do have to ask for the good stuff and convince them you're not gonna fuck them, because some of what they sell isn't even legal on the Reservation. It's behind the counter, but they all have the good shit. You just don't see it. Aerial Bombs, real cherry bombs and real M80's, 1/4 sticks, name it man. Also you gotta haggle with them a bit if you don't wanna get ripped off. It also helps to be cool with them and make them like you.

It is not the first example of Trump's myopia when it comes to environmental racism. Could be environmental economic classism too. Trump is odious in both regards. He only cares about the 1%.

Cheryl Schreier was superintendent of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial from 2010 to 2019.
It has been more than 10 years since fireworks were last seen at Mount Rushmore National Memorial. The fireworks were canceled in 2010, my first year as superintendent of the memorial, and they never resumed during my tenure. While such patriotic celebrations were memorable, they also endangered public safety and irreplaceable natural and cultural resources within the national park and surrounding area.

Yet this year, President Trump and his administration, with the support of South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem, have insisted on resuming the fireworks on July 3. And the Interior Department, under Secretary David Bernhardt, is allowing this to happen, overlooking the well-documented danger this event presents.

Several concerns drove the sound decision to cancel the fireworks in 2010. In case of emergency — wildfires started by the fireworks, medical emergencies or extreme weather events — evacuation of visitors could prove tremendously difficult. The anticipated traffic congestion and gridlock could last for hours before and after the event, compounded by visitors who are not familiar with the area. Furthermore, chemicals in the groundwater caused by perchlorates from fireworks is a concern to the health and safety of visitors and employees. A recent analysis of water and soil samples from the memorial found contamination “an order of magnitude higher” than sites measured outside the memorial; the analysis also stated that further fireworks events would increase contamination levels. This is an unacceptable outcome.
And this year, resuming the fireworks demonstration is an even greater threat to both humans and nature. Thanks to an extremely dry summer, South

Dakota faces a higher than usual risk of wildfires. A former fire management officer for Mount Rushmore and numerous national parks warned that the fireworks show would be “ill-advised” given the dry conditions. The National Park Service has heeded similar warnings in previous years, canceling the fireworks in 2002 and 2010 at least in part because of high fire danger. And the park service has continued to cite concern over devastating wildfires as a reason for discontinuing the event until now.

In addition to concerns over fire, we must acknowledge the very real risk that Friday’s event could become a hot spot for coronavirus infections, particularly as there are no plans to enforce social distancing. The 7,500 people in attendance have been drawn from ticket requests from across the country, including many states seeing a marked rise in cases of coronavirus infections. This is a recipe for disaster. Ironically, though organizers won’t lower the number of tickets for the event in the name of health and safety, they will close Mount Rushmore to regular visitation for the entire day leading up to the fireworks event. (On a typical July day, the memorial sees more than 25,000 visitors.) Trump’s event will not only result in less opportunity for the usual flow of visitors to enjoy the memorial, it will actually jeopardize the safety of park service employees, volunteers, concession workers, visitors and residents of the gateway communities.

While cities and communities across the United States are canceling their Fourth of July celebrations to adhere to social distancing guidelines and protect their citizens, Trump and Noem are actively encouraging people to gather together, all in service of an event which poses clear risks to both visitors and the environment. I urge them to reconsider this event for the health and safety of us all.
