Scope and content

Clegg asks, on behalf of a Sussex doctor, what one can do if one is about to be exposed to blast. "Should one open one's mouth or close it, hold one's breath or breathe easily? Close the ears and nose with the fingers and close the mouth? Or what should one do to diminish the probability of concussion to the lungs?".
