Advances in the Analysis of Explosives

Interpol review of the analysis and detection of explosives and explosives residues

“…and Palucci, A. have published a review chapter on the advances with detection techniques for security purposes in the areas of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (Stand-off) or LIBS, Raman (stand-off), surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and laser photoacoustic spectroscopy They discuss the detection limits and the drawbacks of these techniques and discuss how they can be used to advance an investigation. One such example was helping to reduce the number of samples sent to the lab [ 577 ]. Neutron …”

Interpol Review of Gunshot Residue 2019 to 2021

“…The book Emerging Technologies for the Analysis of Forensic Traces published in 2019 devotes a chapter [ 4 ] to recent advances in the field of GSR, covering IGSR but also OGSR in a detailed and very complete manner, as well as the estimation of time since discharge. The interest and originality of this book also lies in the fact that for each piece of evidence treated, and therefore also for GSR, a commentary by an end-user is proposed, which makes it possible to anchor these scientific and technical advances to routine and field practice [ 5 ].…”
