Abstract:
Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) has been applied for characterization and quantitative detection of barium and lead from gunshot residues (GSR). Previous electrochemical techniques have detected antimony and lead from GSR, however barium has never been detected. This technique allows for simultaneous detection of Ba and Pb that is simple, fast, and nondestructive.
