💣 Dirty Bomb:
▫️A “dirty bomb” is a dispersion device containing radioactive material – possibly uranium, but more likely low-grade materials such as caesium-137 or other radioactive materials in common use.
☢️ It doesn't need to contain highly refined radioactive material, as is used in a nuclear bomb. Instead, it could use radioactive materials from hospitals, nuclear power stations or research laboratories.
This makes them much cheaper and quicker to make than nuclear weapons.
☢️ For Example: They can also be carried in the back of a vehicle.
💣 Concerns:
☢️ The immediate health impact would probably be limited, since most people in an affected area would be able to escape before experiencing lethal doses of radiation.
☢️ However, the radioactive dust and smoke spread farther away could be dangerous to health if it is inhaled. Because people cannot see, smell, feel, or taste radiation.
☢️ The economic damage could be massive from having to evacuate urban areas or even abandon whole cities.

Antimicrobial Resistance:
Definition: Antimicrobial Resistance is the resistance acquired by any microorganism (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasite, etc.) against antimicrobial drugs that are used to treat infections.
🦠 It occurs when a microorganism changes over time and no longer responds to medicines making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death.
🐞 Microorganisms that develop antimicrobial resistance are sometimes referred to as “SUPERBUGS”.
🇮🇳 Initiatives: (In India)
1. National Programme on AMR containment (2012) - AMR Surveillance Network.
2. AMRSN - AMR Surveillance and Research Network (2013).
3. National Action Plan on AMR (April 2017): Focus - One Health approach.
4. AMR Research & International Collaboration - ICMR along with the Research Council of Norway (RCN); ICMR along with the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), Germany.
5. Antibiotic Stewardship Program by ICMR.
🌍 Initiatives: (Globally)
1. World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW): Held annually since 2015.
2. The Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS): Launched by WHO in 2015.
