Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

These models focus on overdose, blood‐borne viruses, and rapid‐onset toxicity related harms. When applied wholesale to anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS), they obscure the distinctive pharmacology, consumer typologies,
