A little suggestion: Don't limit yourself to the direct health impacts of IEDs. Expand your research to include the indirect negative health consequences. Some examples off the top of my head: the halt of vaccination programs, flight of health professionals from the region, closure of medical clinics, halt of sanitation services (garage removal) etc.. etc.. When you include the indirect health consequences, the effect of IEDs on morbidity and mortality is going be to be orders of magnitude greater.
I know for a fact that after those chlorine truck IEDs the US started holding chlorine trucks at the border. This in turn led to a cholera epidemic (chlorine is used in some way to prevent cholera).
