Abstract
Because of the adverse health effects [on firearms instructors and other range personnel] associated with excessive exposure to Pb in firing ranges, attempts have been made to develop ammunition which could prevent such undesirable exposure. It is possible to reduce Pb exposure significantly at the source of emission with the use of Cu and nylon jacketed bullets.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
