Blast overpressure is invisible, but its effects can be devastating. Research shows that repetitive exposure, even at low levels, can cause:
Structural changes in the brain
Increased risk of PTSD
Acceleration of age-associated neurological disorders
Persistent concussion-like symptoms
This makes accurate monitoring critical — not just for immediate safety, but for long-term health protection.
