National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Residential Exposure from Inhalation of Air Emissions from the M127A1 White Parachute Signal Flare, DODIC L312.

Abstract	This assessment evaluated the potential for human health effects to offsite residents breathing air emissions following use of the M127A1 White Parachute Signal Flare during training exercises. The military uses pyrotechnics for signaling, obscuring, and illumination during training exercises to simulate battle conditions. Study results showed no potential for health risks to the hypothetical resident from inhalation of air emissions from the Ml27Al. To conduct this study, air emissions from the MI27Al were collected in a test chamber Dugway Proving Grounds, UT. This information was then used in an air dispersion model to determine ambient air concentrations at a location %OO meters downwind from the site where the item was activated. Modeled concentrations were combined with exposure information to estimate the amount of substances the hypothetical resident breathes. This intake was combined with the substance's health information, to determine if there is a potential for health risks from inhalation of these substances. The health risk included both long- term and short term exposures to the modeled substance concentrations. Study results showed no potential for health risks from inhalation of air emissions from the M127A1.
