Industrial Hygienists Chris Queen (left) and Lt. Adiaratou Sidibe (center) from NMRTC Twentynine Palms and Kurt Bowen (right) from NMRTC Camp Pendleton conduct Blast Overpressure (BOP) sampling alongside Marines at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, March 25, 2025. The joint field training allowed teams to collect real-time data on BOP exposure—an occupational hazard resulting from explosive detonations and weapons fire that can impact neurological health. The effort supports Navy Medicine’s requirement to monitor and assess at-risk commands and contributes to meeting Department of Defense policy deadlines for documenting exposures in the Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System – Industrial Hygiene (DOEHRS-IH) (Courtesy photo).
