Which ones are correct?

Hi, can you check this?

"A small town in Italy has passed legislation requiring people to use only silent fireworks in displays and celebrations to ensure the wellbeing of dogs and other pets. The town has decided that the welfare of its pets is more important than the sound of explosions that normally accompanies fireworks. The more sensitive hearing of animals causes them to develop a condition known as 'acoustic stress' that follows sudden and loud noises. The sounds and smoke created by fireworks can cause additional health problems in animals such as nausea, tremors and increased anxiety in animals after a fireworks show.
Awareness of the potential problems created by the sound of fireworks is growing in Europe. Germany has banned fireworks near refugee shelters to minimise trauma experienced by refugees who had just fled war zones. Fireworks are also known to cause problems for war veterans. The explosions bring back painful memories of being in areas of conflict and can trigger post-traumatic stress disorder. However, not everyone agress. Opponents say it's an essential part of the fun and we need the booms, cracks and thunder. They advise pet owners to keep animals indoors and recommend veterans to keep all windows firmly closed."
