Environmental Toxicology of Blast Exposures: Injury Metrics, Modelling, Methods and Standards

STO-TR-HFM-234

Explosions are one of the most significant sources of casualties in recent NATO operations. The complexity of physical trauma resulting from direct or indirect exposure to an explosion has challenged medical practitioners across the spectrum of disciplines from surgery to mental health. Epidemiological studies are critical to understanding the mechanisms of injury caused by explosions, the response of an individual to a blast event, as well as, the long-term effects of blast exposure. The NATO Health Factors and Medicine (HFM) Research Task Group (RTG) HFM-234 titled “Environmental Toxicology of Blast Exposures: Injury Metrics, Modelling, Methods and Standards” developed a dictionary of blast injury terms, and guidelines for conducting epidemiological studies, reproducing blast exposures in the laboratory, and using animal models in blast injury research. It is the intention of the HFM-234 (RTG) that these guidelines be used in concert with the companion dictionary to guide research methods and reporting in the field of experimental blast injury research.
