title: Comparative lead emissions from conventional and jacketed ammunition.
abstract: Because of the adverse health effects associated with excessive exposure to lead in firing ranges, attempts have been made to develop ammunition which could prevent such undesirable exposure. This study provides evidence that it is possible to reduce lead exposure significantly at the source of emission with the use of copper and nylon jacketed bullets.
