壹、前言
在臺灣，許多節慶活動總少不了爆竹煙火的助興，已然成為民俗文化記憶的一部分，是各地 華人在傳統節日、婚禮喜慶、各類慶典、廟會活動等場合不可或缺的物品，特別是在春節期間， 鞭炮的使用量超過全年用量的一半，雖種類繁多，但每一種都具有潛在的危險性。
施放上就性質及活動大小來說，主要可分為消費者個人、民俗賽事及大型活動等 3 類活動， 無論是使用一般或是專業的爆竹煙火，皆有可能發生意外。其中大型活動使用之專業煙火，雖然 絢爛奪目，帶來極大的娛樂效果，但火藥量大、施放數量多，較一般爆竹煙火體積大、火藥量多， 危險性也較高，如處理不慎，極易發生重大事故，造成人員傷亡。
In Taiwan, festival events often come with fireworks displays, which have become part of our cultural memory. Festivals, weddings, and temple activities can hardly do without them. Above all, during the spring break, the amount of fireworks usage often occupies more than half for that year. Although there are a variety of fireworks, each has its own potential risk.
Judged by the purposes, where fireworks are set off can be divided into three categories: (1) personal use (2) races (3) massive events. Regardless of which kind, accidents could happen. Professional fireworks at massive events, albeit magnificent and highly entertaining, can pose a risk more serious than the other ones, because they are larger and contain more black powder. If taken lightly, they are likely to cause dramtic disasters and injury.
