Michigan Firearm Injury Lawyers | Shooting Range Hazards
Going to the shooting range is a great way to practice for hunting deer, but there may be some hidden risks of shooting for a long period of time. According to a study I recently read, many shooting ranges have poor ventilation which increases the risk of injury from lead exposure. Lead used to be found in gas and paint, but it was banned in those products several decades ago because of the very serious health-risks it presents, especially to children. To learn more about the health effects of lead, visit the lead poisoning injuries section of my law firm’s website.
The study, put on by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, indicates that many shooting ranges, especially those with low ceilings, have very poor airflow. The problem is made worse by tight corners, large ornaments or displays, and other barriers to air circulation.
Poor airflow on a shooting range becomes a problem for the gun user when smoke from discharges fills the air near the shooter. Particles of lead from the ammunition clog the air and can enter the body during the normal breathing process. This can cause lead to enter the blood stream and be transported throughout the body and to the brain. At high levels, adults can suffer loss of IQ points and other brain damage. In children, brain damage occurs at much lower levels and other developmental disabilities can begin. In fact, several recent studies suggest that lead is unsafe at any level for a child.
