See the Unseen: Trace chemical detection in the field
Trace evidence such as hairs, fibers, or DNA can be used during the course of an investigation to establish a relationship between a person, place, object and/or activity. For example, a vehicle may be linked to the scene of a hit-and-run by the paint that was transferred onto its bumper from the vehicle that was struck. Additionally, any time a person or object contacts a material such as a ...

Titanium as an indicator of residual soil on arid-land plants
Titanium (Ti) has been suggested as a soil contamination indicator for plant samples slated for trace element analysis because it is abundant in soil but not in plants. Based on results from our survey of regional soils and plants for cesium (Cs), we sought to confirm Ti as a valid soil contamination indicator reasoning that there are three sources of Ti associated with plant samples: (i) ...
