Book Description
The Health Hazard Evaluation Program received a request from a military firing range in North Dakota. The range managers submitted the request because of concern about instructor and range officer exposure to weapons emissions during qualification sessions inside the partially-enclosed firing range. We measured exposure to weapons emissions and assessed health symptoms related to the firing of copper-based ammunition that breaks into pieces on impact (known as frangible ammunition).

Pages : 56
Book Description
This report serves to summarize various projects the Air Force Institute for Operational Health (AFIOH) has performed related to health concerns expressed by Security Forces Combat Arms (CATM) instructors regarding exposure to contaminants generated during the discharge of lead free frangible ammunition. The projects took place from 2005 through 2007 and while work is ongoing in this area, the results contribute to our understanding of the exposures enough that reasonable, timely recommendations can be made. Generally, this report provides needed exposure data and recommendations to health risk assessors in the field, it identifies gaps in the assessment needing further work, and it gives recommendations to CATM personnel to mitigate the hazards as they are currently understood. It should serve to provide operators in the field to help mitigate the reported adverse health effects of respiratory tract irritation, eye irritation, sweet metallic taste, nausea and headaches.

Book Description
This assessment evaluated the potential for human health effects to offsite residents breathing air emissions following use of the M88O 81 -MM Target Practice Short Range Cartridge. This document presents the evaluation of the potential for adverse human health effects to the offsite residents breathing air emissions following the use of military firing ranges during training exercises. Study results showed no potential for health risks to the hypothetical resident from inhalation of air emissions from the .81 Target Practice Short Range Cartridge . To conduct this study, air emissions from the .81 Target Practice Short Range Cartridges were collected in a test chamber (at Aberdeen Test Center, Aberdeen, MD). This information was then used in an air dispersion model to determine ambient air concentrations at a location downwind from the site where the item was activated. Modeled air concentrations were combined with exposure information to estimate the amount of substances the hypothetical resident breathes. This intake was combined with the substance's health information, to determine if there is a potential for health risks from inhalation of these substances. The health risk included both long-term and short term exposures to the modeled substance concentrations. Study results showed no potential for health risks from inhalation of air emissions from the .8l Target Practice Short Range Cartridge.
