Yes, inhalation hazard can be considered a non-explosive hazard of a sub-munition, particularly if the sub-munition releases toxic agents or particulate matter upon detonation. Such hazards pose serious health risks to individuals exposed to the resulting aerosols or fumes. While sub-munitions are designed primarily for explosive effects, their potential to cause inhalation hazards should not be overlooked, especially in populated or sensitive areas.
A nonexplosive hazard of a submunition is the risk of accidental detonation due to environmental factors, such as extreme temperatures or impacts during handling and storage. Additionally, unexploded submunitions can remain on the battlefield, posing a significant danger to civilians and demining personnel long after a conflict has ended. These devices can be mistaken for harmless objects, leading to unintended injuries or fatalities. Moreover, they can also contaminate the environment, affecting land use and agriculture.
