Application of Xrf to the Detection and Estimation of Metals in Toxicological Specimens
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Extract
The Metropolitan Police Forensic Science Laboratory is faced from time to time with cases which require the detection and estimation of metals in biological matrices. These cases generally concern instances, allegations or threats of poisoning and require the analysis of either foodstuffs or body fluids, or both. The elements of particular interest are antimony, arsenic, bismuth, cadmium, lead, mercury, and thallium.
