“The rise
in deaths due to drug overdose and anti-drug policies has increased the demand
for drug abuse testing devices globally. It is also estimated that around 35
million people globally suffer from drug use disorders while only 1 in 7 people
receive treatment in due time”
Rising Illicit Drugs Consumption: In the Americas Region, 8.5
million people (1.3% of the population) have used cocaine in 2018, which
represented almost half of the users worldwide. Within Europe, the use of drugs
is highly common within the southern and western countries. The use of opioids
in treating moderate to severe pain is one of the emerging concerns in Asia
Pacific and has lead to illegal use of the drug. Owing to rise in cocaine
production, Asia Pacific and Africa are also emerging as the hubs for cocaine
trafficking and consumption. Owing to the increase of cocaine seizures in
Brazil, a paradigm shift toward an increase in users seeking treatment against
drugs abuse has also been witnessed, which again has raised the importance of
drug abuse testing kits globally. A recent report by United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
(UNODC) also estimates the number of opioid users at around 53 million.
Globally, around 11 million people injected drugs in 2017, of whom 1.4 million
live with HIV and 5.6 million with hepatitis C.
Government Initiatives: In order to prevent deaths
caused by overdose of drugs the governments of a number of countries have
funded programs against drug abuse. The US government spent USD 46.8 million in
the FY’2018 for screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment for
drug usage. Also a number of countries
have made it legal for workplaces to test their employees for drugs.
Irrespective of what’s mentioned in the contract, in countries such as Italy
and France, the employers are by law allowed to conduct random drug tests.
Breathalyzers for Drug Testing: Initially
breathalyzers were more common for alcohol tests only as it was incapable for testing
the levels of ‘Tetrahydrocannabinol’ (THC) which are commonly present in
illicit drugs. However, technological advancement has led to the development of
breathalyzers which are now capable to detect the presence of THCs as well. For
instance, The University of Pittsburg used tiny tubes of carbon, 100,000
times smaller than human hair which results in THC molecule, along with other
molecules in breath binds to the surface of the nano-tubes and changes their
electrical properties. The speed at which the electrical currents recover then
signals whether THC is present or not. Nanotechnology sensors are also being used
for the same purpose.
