Environmental Pollution Laboratory always tries to employ the best and state of the art techniques to provide results of the highest quality for arson forensic analysis. We are able to conduct breakdown analysis of most know ignitable liquids on various types of matrices found at the suspected arson scene. We also have the capability of extracting and analysing Carbon Orbo tubes and OVM Badges (carbon strips).
Arson Forensic Analysis
Arson is defined as the wilful or malicious burning of property especially with criminal or fraudulent intent.
Environmental Pollution Laboratory only employs experienced analysts to conduct arson analysis using gas chromatography mass spectrometers (GC-MS), which are used to identify compounds and ratios from complex matrices for accurate identification accelerants. EPL uses ASTM E1618 as a guideline for accelerant identification.
We also offer source identification of petroleum products between the TPH C6-C40 ranges with similar methodologies employed as in arson forensic analysis.
