Produktbeschreibung

Bridging the fields of investigation and forensic chemistry, this volume introduces techniques for determining the presence of ignitable liquid residues (ILRs) at fire scenes. It thoroughly examines evidence detection, collection, packaging, and transport. The initial chapters are written from an investigator's perspective, allowing forensic specialists to understand fire dynamics, ignition, heat transfer, and investigations. Later chapters include a comparison of the use of canines versus new detection techniques, an examination of laboratory facilities and equipment, and procedures for organizing a new lab or upgrading an existing one.
