SOURCE: The Landmine Contamination, Casualties and Clearance provides country level data on a broad range of issues related to landmines and cluster munitions, including contamination, casualties and clearance, and their associated cost. The data was compiled from two sources: Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor and annual surveys by the United Nations Mine Action Team (UNMAT).

Battle area clearance (BAC) is the systematic clearance of a battle area. It will typically use less sensitive metal detectors (or settings on those detectors) than is the case for mine clearance as it is seeking to detect much higher quantities of metal. BAC does not normally leave an area free of metal, as mine clearance normally does.
