"Blast effects" refer to the physical impacts caused by an explosion, which can include shock waves, heat, and flying debris. These effects can damage structures, injure people, and disrupt the environment. The intensity of blast effects depends on factors such as the size of the explosion, the distance from the source, and the surrounding materials. The shock wave generated by an explosion travels rapidly through the air, creating a sudden increase in pressure. This pressure can shatter windows, collapse walls, and cause injuries to anyone nearby. Understanding blast effects is crucial for safety measures in areas where explosives, such as military operations or construction sites, are used.
