This book may be an important source of actual information for forensic toxicologists, forensic chemists, and forensic serologists. Its main part presents information on analysis of most important and toxic compounds, like drugs of abuse, or dangerous pharmaceutical compounds. It provides information helpful for finding and application of new analytical methods in forensic toxicology, forensic chemistry, and identification with immunoserological methods.

Features:
• Wide spectrum of topics presented
• Up-to-date presentation of topics
• Data are presented in comparative mode
• Special stress put on screening procedures
