The Times tested the blast waves of several popular civilian guns at an indoor range and found that repeated firing could add up to potentially harmful exposure.
It’s slowly becoming more known. The indoor ranges in my area have started installing ventilation systems, banning pregnant women from entry, providing lead-removing soap in the bathrooms, encouraging people to use it, and posting signs about it in the bathrooms.
But still, many people either don’t know or, even worse, know and don’t care because “I ain’t no sissy” or whatever.
Most effects of lead exposure are reversible with time though.
I think an even bigger problem that even more people don’t think about is the fact that leaded gasoline is still used in airplane fuel (avgas). If you fly for a hobby or live under a flight path, you very likely have more lead in your blood than the most avid of shooters.
Wut??? Where are you from that indoor ranges aren’t required to have proper filtration and ventilation? That shits the law here in the states. You can’t open a indoor range without passing a ton of safety shit, and the fire Marshal will check it regularly.
