Headspace single drop microextraction for the analysis of fire accelerants in fire debris samples.

Headspace single drop microextraction for the analysis of fire accelerants in fire debris samples.

Fire accelerants such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel have commonly been used in arson cases. Improved analytical methods involving the extraction of fire accelerants are necessary to increase sample yield and to reduce the number of uncertain findings. In this study, an analytical method based on...
