Lead Exposure Risks & Shooting Ranges Discussed in New Online Video

PHOENIX - Jan. 25, 2015 - PRLog -- Today, the IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of their latest educational video.  Their newest production discusses potential lead exposure risks at shooting ranges.

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), there are an estimated 9,000 non-military outdoor firing ranges and approximately 16,000 to 18,000 indoor ranges operating in the United States.  The U.S. military alone operates more than 3,000 indoor firing ranges.

“Millions of law enforcement officers, soldiers and gun enthusiasts regularly visit these shooting ranges and the facilities employee tens of thousands of workers,” said Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network.  “Each year, millions of pounds of lead from bullets are shot at these ranges and both outdoor and indoor firing ranges can be contaminated with high levels of lead and lead dusts. Even the process of loading guns and magazines and discarding spent casings can cause contact with lead and the shooter’s hands.  We hope this new video helps to shed some light on potential lead hazards at gun ranges.”

This educational video was sponsored by a number of organizations and leading industry professionals that work to protect the public’s health. Sponsors include: EMSL Analytical, LA Testing, Clark Seif Clark, Zimmetry Environmental, Indoor Environmental Consultants, Healthy Indoors Magazine, Maine Indoor Air Quality Council and the 2015 Northeast IAQ & Energy Conference to name just a few.
