Comprehensive Organic and Inorganic Characterization of Gunshot Residue (funding contingent upon congressional appropriation and/or new start authorization)
Abstract
This project will develop analytical protocols that will target inorganic and organic constituents of firearm discharge residues through exploitation of proven principals of ionic/molecular chemistry. This research will allow for a field detection capability that can leverage existing technology and commercially available instrumentation, while reducing the problematic high false positive rate of current detection systems.
