The Forensic Posts online lecture series: Episode 07 ft Ms. Richa Singh (Assistant Professor) at the Department of Forensic Science - JAIN (Deemed-to-be) University, Bengaluru
Abstract:
Forensic toxicology is a specialized branch of forensic science dedicated to unraveling the mysteries hidden within toxic substances. This field employs advanced analytical techniques to identify, quantify, and interpret the presence of drugs, chemicals, and poisons in biological and non-biological samples. In the context of legal and medical investigations, forensic toxicologists play a pivotal role in shedding light on crucial aspects of cases ranging from drug abuse and poisoning to impaired driving and unexplained deaths. Analyzing samples such as blood, urine, hair, and tissues, forensic toxicologists utilize state-of-the-art methods like chromatography and mass spectrometry. The application of these techniques ensures the precision required to isolate specific compounds, providing valuable information for investigative purposes. As a vital intersection between science and justice, forensic toxicology continues to evolve, ensuring the integrity of legal proceedings, the safety of communities, and advancements in our understanding of toxicological impacts
