Death or physical injuries due to detonation of high explosives may be due to the
following causes.
The site of explosion may be identified by the presence of crater. The entire area
must be systematically searched for traces of the detonation mechanism. One of the
simplest ways of collecting gas samples for analysis is to take a bottle full of water in
the area where the odor is the strongest and pour the water out of the container. The
surrounding air will immediately replace the water removed from the bottle, tightly
sealed the bottle and sent to the laboratory for examination.
Scrapings from the debris and other materials at or near the site of the explosion
may be subjected to extensive stereoscopic and microscopic examination.
Fragments of the explosive may be rinsed with hot water so that water-soluble
inorganic substances may be extracted.
Atomic Bomb Explosion, the explosion is caused by the fission of about 100
pounds of uranium and liberates energy equal to that of a million tons of TNT. After
explosion, it produces a luminous ball of fire containing radioactive fission products,
which increases upward in size and creates shock waves moving sideward in all
directions.
2. Local Effects:
Individual Cells causes retardation of cell division, structural changes
in the chromosomes and cytoplasm, vacuolization, and with evidence
of maturation.
Skin the skin become edematous and later desquamated and
ulcerated. Radiation dermatitis is persistent, usually painful with
patchy keratitis and foci of ulceration. Hyper pigmentation or
depigmentation may later develop.
Blood vessels there is endothelial necrosis and localized thrombosis.
The blood vessels thicken because the hyalinization of the collagen.
Eye Cataract develop
Genital Organ In female it causes sterility, abortion or still-birth. In
men, it also causes sterility without loss of sexual potency.
