Mine sweeper for enviromental chemists - not a game!

Background: Each year, there are about 20 000 casualties among civilians worldwide due to landmines. The search for buried landmines is -among other techniques- often been done with mine-detection-dogs (MDD). These dogs are trained to sniff and detect molecules of the explosives that diffuse out of the mine and then migrate to the soil surface (weather permitting). There are many problems and open questions related to the training and work of the MDD. Some of these questions actually fall into the realm of environmental chemistry. In this and the following chapters we will pick up some of these
