ASF wild boar carcasses are located by dogs using odor differentiation

The TCRH Training Center Rescue and Help in Mosbach trains teams to locate dead wild boars on behalf of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Rural Areas, Nutrition and Consumer Protection (MLR).

What are “dirty bombs”?

A radiological weapon, also known as a dirty bomb or radiological dispersion device, is, according to the definition of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, a weapon of mass destruction, which, according to modern understanding, consists of a conventional explosive device that, when exploded, releases radioactive material into it distributed throughout the environment. Unlike a nuclear weapon, there is no nuclear reaction.

Dirty bombs are also called explosive devices that contain biological or chemical substances (USBV-B or -C). However, the distinction from other B weapons and C weapons is imprecise, as the distinction between the effect of nuclear fission and the effect of contamination is no longer applicable.

psychological effect

Dirty bombs have an enormous psychological impact: they are perceived as threatening and very dangerous.
