        abstract = {Forensic toxicology is an essential part of medico-legal investigations, particularly when it comes to poisoning cases. It’s emphasized key analytical techniques, like gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), while also looking at some exciting new technologies for detecting novel poisons. Throughout, I’ll discuss the vital role of forensic toxicologists in both criminal and clinical contexts and share insights on effective management and prevention strategies. One of the main takeaways is the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in investigating and managing poisoning cases.
Forensic toxicology is super important when it comes to investigating poisoning cases. It provides scientific evidence that helps identify toxic substances, figure out the cause of death, and shape how we manage these situations. Whether poisoning happens accidentally, intentionally, or as part of a crime, it requires a careful examination to determine what toxins are present and at what levels in biological samples.
The various methods used in forensic toxicology to identify common poisons, the challenges faced during detection, and the best strategies for managing poisoning cases effectively. the vital role toxicologists play in bridging the gap between medicine and law through thorough analysis and interpretation of poisoning cases.},
