"Forensic Chemistry, Third Edition introduces students to the principal areas of the field from the perspective of analytical chemistry. The book provides a working foundational knowledge base for basic chemistry, introducing chemical concepts and practices from a forensic perspective (including multivariate statistics, quality assurance/quality control, and protocols used in working forensic laboratories). The book distinguishes forensic chemistry from other types of analytical chemistry by the legal context in which the work is done, the types of samples and matrices, the variety of sample types encountered, and the extensive use of instrumentation. Topics covered in the various chapters offer students insight into the legal context in which forensic chemistry is conducted, introducing students to the variety of types of samples and matrices, and extensive use of instrumentation they will likely encounter in the lab and future professions"--
Forensic Chemistry, Third Edition, the new edition of this ground-breaking book, continues to serve as the leading forensic chemistry text on the market. Fully updated, this edition describes the latest advances in current forensic chemistry analysis and practice. New and expanded coverage includes rapid advances in forensic mass spectrometry, NMR, and novel psychoactive substances (NPSs). Topics related to seized drug analysis, toxicology, combustion and fire investigation, explosives, and firearms discharge residue are described and illustrated with case studies. The role of statistics, quality assurance/quality control, uncertainty, and metrology are integrated into all topics. More pharmacological and toxicokinetic calculations are presented and discussed. Hundreds of color figures, nearly 450 total, along with graphs, illustrations, worked example problems, and case descriptions are used to show how analytical chemistry is applied to forensic practice. Coverage offer students insight into the legal context in which forensic chemistry is conducted and introduces them to the sample types and sample matrices frequently encountered in forensic laboratories.

Dr. Suzanne Bell obtained a BS (Chemistry and Criminal Justice majors) from Northern Arizona University and an MS in Forensic Science from the University of New Haven. She joined the New Mexico State Police in 1983 and worked as a forensic chemist and crime scene processor. She worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory starting in 1985 as a technical staff member. During this time, she obtained a PhD from New Mexico State University. She started her career in academia in 1994, first at Eastern Washington University where she taught undergraduate chemistry courses and assisted the university and the Washington State Patrol in developing a forensic chemistry major. In 2003, she joined the Chemistry Department at West Virginia University (WVU). There she mentored chemistry and forensic chemistry students from the BS to post-doctoral level. Her areas of research interest included forensic chemistry, forensic toxicology, ion mobility spectrometry, chemometrics, energetics and explosives, and gunshot residue. She retired from WVU in 2019. She is am a past member of the Scientific Working Group for Seized Drug Analysis (SWGDRUG) and a current member of the Scientific Working Group for Gunshot Residue (SWGGSR) and the gunshot residue subcommittee of NISTs Organization of Scientific Area Committees (OSAC). She is also a commission on the National Commission on Forensic Science (NCFS) and the Forensic Education Programs Accreditation Commission (FEPAC). In addition to numerous research articles, she has authored and edited many text and reference books including Forensic Chemistry, Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science, and the 5th edition of Forensic Science: An Introduction to Scientific and Investigative Techniques.
