Illicit Drug‐Derived Volatile Organic Compounds as Markers for Application in Noncontact Detection Technology

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
This review highlights the characteristic odor markers of illicit drugs, emphasizing volatile markers from both natural and synthetic sources, and explores the shift from canine‐based detection to emerging noncontact sensing technologies. Illicit drug use remains a global concern, requiring effective detection methods to counter evolving concealment ...

Application of Wastewater‐Based Epidemiology in Japan to Estimate the Prevalence of Substance Use Including Methamphetamine and Ephedrine

open access: yesChemistry – An Asian Journal, Volume 21, Issue 3, 12 February 2026.
Methamphetamine was the only illicit drug consistently detected (consumption at 17.0 ± 5.1 mg/day/1000people). High levels of its precursors, ephedrine, and pseudoephedrine were likely from legal medicines, although there is a high risk of diversion.

Patterns of Drug and Polydrug Detection in Drivers Suspected of Driving Under the Influence of an Intoxicant in Ireland 2019–2020: A Latent Class Analysis

open access: yesDrug and Alcohol Review, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Driving under the influence of drugs is a major risk factor for road traffic collisions. While increasing harms are observed in relation to polydrug use, evidence is needed about this issue in the context of road safety. We examined polydrug use patterns in drivers providing samples for toxicological analysis in Ireland between ...
