Guidelines for Evaluation of CF Indoor Firing Ranges

Abstract

A guideline has been prepared to assist the Preventive Medicine Technician (PMT) at the base level to monitor inorganic lead concentrations in indoor firing ranges during weapons firing. From the mean lead levels obtained, safe occupancy periods may be derived from the maximum allowable exposure table included in the report. The complete technical approach which includes air monitoring and ventilation measurement techniques is outlined in detail. This sampling strategy, if followed should be of assistance to the PMT in evaluating an indoor firing range. Also included are housekeeping recommendations regarding safe practices.
