The Health Impacts of Toxic Remnants of War on Civilian Populations: A Scoping Review

Abstract: Introduction:An estimated two billion people are currently affected by war, with civilian populations increasingly exposed to the hazards of armed conflict. While the effect of explosive remnants of conflict is well documented, the impacts of the toxic remnants of war on civilian health are less well understood.Methods:This study was a scoping review examining the human health impacts of exposure to toxic remnants of war. Toxic remnants of war refer to any toxic or radiological substances arising from military… Show more

“…On the other hand, of late, the point-of-care-testing (POCT) devices have gained considerable attention because of their crucial utilities in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and real-time surveillance. The POCT devices are found to play a vital role in the detection and monitoring of routine health irregularities, chronic diseases, , or asymptomatic disorders. , From the engineering point of view, the POCT devices employ diverse chemical and electronic principles for the detection of disease-specific biomarkers. They include resistive, electrochemical, colorimetric, and capacitive techniques.…”
