Abstract

A lot of various substances can be detected by dogs, as oestrous in cows, endangered species or non-biological substances like accelerants, narcotics, explosives, mines and pollutions and biological substances like identity (suspects), cancer (breast, lung, colorectal and bladder cancer), human remains (cadaver), bacteria and mould in buildings. The dogs are trained using non-scientific methods and not much research in detection training exists. This is a review of different types of dog detection, with focus on new research.

,

Hundar används till detektion av många olika substanser till exempel brunst hos kor och leta utrotningshotade arter och icke-biologiska substanser, såsom tändvätska, narkotika, explosionsämnen och föroreningar. De används även till att detektera biologiska ämnen såsom identitetssök, cancer (bröst-, lung-, tjocktarms- och blåscancer), kadaver, bakterier och mögel. Hundarna tränas med icke-vetenskapliga metoder och det finns inte mycket forskning om lukt-detektion med hund. Den här litteraturstudien belyser befintlig litteratur om lukt-detektion med hund och har fokus på ny forskning.
