Accidental Explosions, Beirut ANFO Blast, Ghana Truck Explosion, Global Terrorism Index 2021-22, and Blast Mitigation: A Review

Explosions are continually occurring without ceasing in many parts of the world endangering human lives and seriously affecting the health of infrastructures and facilities. Industry accidental mishaps that occurred recently, like those in Ghana (2022; 17 deaths), Russia (2021; 18 deaths), Beirut (2...
