As far as I could tell they are bright yellow. But I can imagine that if you are clearing away rubble from collapsed bomb sites they might be a huge problem. Not sure about the specifics though. I do know that a lot of effort is put (as has been in the past) in teaching people how to recognise explosive devices and how to (not) act around them. Sonja
