Article Synopsis
- The U.S. Air Force started using copper-based, lead-free frangible ammunition in the early 2000s to address environmental and health concerns stemming from lead exposure.
- In a study assessing aerosol emissions at a firing range, instructors reported health issues like respiratory distress, despite measurements showing airborne metals were below occupational limits.
- The evaluation found that while copper levels in the air were low, there was a significant increase in ultrafine particle concentrations during firing, suggesting that existing exposure guidelines may not adequately protect instructors' health.
