Forensic Toxicology -t-the study of the chemical and physical properties of toxic substances and their physiological effect on living organisms by Ondřej Stejskal

Deaths Investigated by Toxicologists 1.Accidental Poisonings 2.Drug Abuse Cases 3.Suicidal Poisonings 4.Homicidal Poisonings

Toxicological Analysis of Tissue a.Collect sample of all body fluids b.Collect samples from organs and tissues c.A forensic toxicologist cannot simply look for the presence of a toxin or drug in a body, she must understand how the body processes these molecules d.Toxicological analysis must start as soon as possible after a person’s death

General Classes of Poisons 1.Gases 2.Steam Volatile Poisons 3.Metallic Poisons 4.Non-volatile Organics - acids- alkaloids - bases- other biologicals - neutrals - amphoterics

Methods of Detection 1.Color test 2.Microdiffusion test 3.Chromatography a. thin-layer chromatography (TLC) b. gas chromatography (GC) c. high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) 4.Spectroscopy a. UV lightd. X-ray b. visible lighte. infrared c. microwave

Example UV-vis Spectrum

Example IR Spectrum

Methods of Detection 5.Mass Spectroscopy 6.Immunoassay

Interpretation of Findings 1.Is a drug or poison present? What substance? 2.How much of the substance is present? Is it’s concentration in the body sufficient to cause death? 3.How was the drug/poison administered?
