Explosives residue examinations.(Evidence Examinations)(Brief Article)
Instrumental analyses of explosives residue can determine whether substances are high explosive, low explosive, or incendiary mixtures; whether the composition of the substances is consistent with known explosives' products; and the type of explosives. Explosives residue can be deposited on metal, plastic, wood, paper, glass, cloth, and other surfaces. Residue may be deposited after handling, storing, or initiating an explosive.
Questions concerning explosives residue evidence should be directed to 703-632-7626. Follow the Evidence Submission directions including Requesting Evidence Examinations and Packaging and Shipping Evidence.
