Health Hazard Evaluation Report No. HETA 82-255-1193, Firing Range-Police Dept., Cape Girardeau, Missouri

摘要

In May 1982, NIOSH received a request from the Police Department at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to evaluate lead exposure in the indoor firing range located in the new police department building. On June 16 and 17, 1982, the NIOSH investigator collected environmental samples at the range to determine airborne lead concentrations. Based on results of environmental samples obtained during this evaluation, the NIOSH investigator determined that a substantial hazard of occupational exposure to lead existed at the Cape Girardeau Police Department Firing Range when this range was used. Recommendations relating to medical surveillance, ventilation, material substitutions, respiratory protection, and general operating procedures at the range are presented in the body of the full report.
