Area of Science:

  • Forensic Toxicology
  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Organochlorine pesticides like endrin pose significant health risks.
  • Accurate quantification of pesticides in biological samples is crucial for forensic investigations.

Observation:

  • Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was utilized for precise endrin measurement.
  • Endrin was detected in biological fluids from a case of fatal overdose.

Findings:

  • The blood endrin concentration was determined to be 544.9 mg/l.
  • This high concentration indicates a severe level of endrin exposure.

Implications:

  • The findings contribute to understanding endrin toxicity and lethal levels.
