Mass Spectrometry in Authentication and Forensic Approaches for Determining the Origin of Hazardous Chemicals

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identification of a chemical agent yields insights into its physicochemical properties. By examining the intrinsic characteristics and environment of a compound, information about its history can be gathered. The main objective of authentication/forensic approaches to chemicals is to trace the history of the compound's origin, regardless of ...
