Seeking to make up for a lack of standards and data for comparison in the area of ignitable liquid data for fire debris analysis, this text includes some 100 different ignitable liquid formulations representing tens of thousands of commercial products. Both total ion chromatograms and extracted ion chromatograms (mass chromatograms) are included for each formulation. Analysts faced with unusual chromatographic patterns will find this text helpful in locating possible ignitable liquid standards for comparison. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
The rapidly increasing number of different ignitable liquid formulations available today poses a new challenge to fire debris analysts and other forensic chemistry specialists - that of accurately identifying and classifying ignitable liquids with unfamiliar chromatographic patterns.
GC-MS Guide to Ignitable Liquids addresses that challenge with a selection of more than 100 different ignitable liquid formulations designed to supplement the laboratory's standard collection. Both total ion chromatograms and extracted ion chromatograms (mass chromatograms) are included.
Written by authors who are also experienced forensic chemists, this complete reference is the only single source of information on ignitable liquids - a must for students of fire science, forensic chemists, and anyone conducting fire debris analysis.
