| Activity title | Combustion products, exposure and related risks | Activity Reference | AVT-322 | Panel | Applied Vehicle Technology | Security Classification | NATO UNCLASSIFIED | Status | Awaiting Publication | Activity type | RSM | Start date | 2018 | End date | 2019 | Keywords | Ammunitionrelated constituents, Combustion products, Emission products, Hazard assessment, Modified composition, Munitionweapon combination | Background | In conjunction with the AVT-277 Research Task Group, a Specialists’ Meeting would be of great importance to manufacturers, buyers and users of ammunition research/testing laboratories and occupational health officers from Defense departments and law enforcement organizations. This meeting will enable our group AVT-277 to present our findings and to learn about various approaches and results from a broader audience by presenting their work and visions on the topics mentioned in paragraph IV. Given that AVT-277 is addressing a relative new topic namely the hazards of ammunition-related constituents and combustion products to the warfighter, it is necessary to identify these hazards and understand the magnitude. | Objectives | The main objective is to raise awareness to and interest in the exposure of personnel to ammunition -related constituents and combustion products. The activity aims to examine the vision of manufacturers, buyers and users of ammunition, research/testing laboratories, those involved in demilitarization and disposal, and occupational health officers from Defense departments and law enforcement on this topic. During the meeting amongst others, the findings of AVT-277 will be presented | Topics | Ammunition emissions analysis; Setup, measurement methods, results, analysis and interpretation
Computational prediction models; For predicting emission products and translation “lab-scale” to larger scale
Exposure to combustion products and the effect of modus operandi and local parameters such as wind, humidity and temperature
Toxicity assessment; Approach, mitigation procedures and interpretation
