A Health Hazard Assessment for Blast Overpressure Exposures Subtitle - Blast Overpressure Research Program

Authors: Berlina S. Martinez; James H. Stuhmiller; JAYCOR SAN DIEGO CA
Abstract:
The advent of nuclear blast caused a renewed interest in blast research in the United States. Thus, was the beginning of the Blast Overpressure Program at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. From the early 1950's through 1997, research on the biomedical, biological and biophysical effects of blast and shock was conducted. During this time, data essential to the understanding of the broad and complex nature of the biological effects of blast overpressure and impulse noise were obtained.
