Voltammetric Determination of New Chemical Markers in Gunshot Residues from Conventional and Ecological Ammunitions: Importance of Forensic Electroanalysis
Abstract:Gunshot residues (GSR) are chemical traces present in the shooter's body. GSR are primarily deposited on the dorsal region of the hands. Metallic microparticles formed by Sb, Ba, and Pb are the main inorganic residues produced by conventional ammunition. These residues are commonly analyzed by SEM-EDS for forensic evidence. Currently, two experimental limitations for forensic GSR analysis exist: GSR (1) are produced indistinctly (revolvers, pistols, and shotguns, among other firearms, produce the same GSR.) an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
