TOXICOLOGY
SECTION
The
Toxicology Section performs examinations of biological fluids and
tissues to detect and quantify drugs and poisons. Typical cases
investigated by this section include driving under the influence
involving alcohol and/or drugs, illegal use of controlled substances,
drug-facilitated sexual assaults, and compliance testing.
Another
important function of this section is the toxicological investigation
of coroner cases. If drugs and/or poisons are detected and quantified
in these cases, the Toxicology Section staff member will act as
consultant to coroners, medical examiners, and law enforcement personnel
to aid in the interpretation of the analytical results.
