According to American scientists, bomb-sniffing dogs have worse performance in extreme heat and humidity conditions. The animals take longer to identify explosives and show reduced sensitivity in these adverse environmental conditions.
The study shows that extreme weather conditions significantly affect the capabilities of these animals, which are frequently used in security operations and threat detection. The dogs' effectiveness in identifying explosives is compromised when exposed to very high temperatures and high humidity levels.
This research highlights the need to consider environmental factors in planning operations involving sniffer dogs, in order to ensure their effectiveness and the success of security missions.
