This study evaluates the noise pollution generated by pyrotechnics during the “Combate Naval” of the Mazatlan Carnival 2024, a culturally significant festival but with high environmental impact. Through sound pressure level (SPL) measurements in the Historic Center, maximum levels of 96 dB were recorded, exceeding the international limits established by ISO 1996-1:2016. These temporary levels affect human and animal health, generating stress and disturbances in the urban environment. Our measurements provide key data to understand the acoustic impacts of this urban festivity and highlights the need for sustainable alternatives, such as silent pyrotechnics. In addition, it emphasizes pyrotechnic debris pollution, a persistent challenge for marine ecosystems. This study proposes to improve noise regulation in Mazatlan and raise public awareness, contributing to the design of culturally responsible and environmentally sustainable celebrations.References
