| Course objective | Forensic chemistry has been studied since beginnings of 20.century in the forensic sciences. Forensic chemistry started to progress paralel to the progress achieved in the instrumental analysis. Because of this, forensic chemistry has a big contribution to the solution of criminal events. Due to the fast increase in the amount of chemical contaminants in water, soil, air and foods, environmental protection is an important concern. Also, intentional contamination of natural sources is one of the forensic events. Characteristics and conversion mechanisms of natural sources (air, water, sediments etc.) and used analytical techniques will be given in this lecture. | |||||
