TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Detection of drugs in saliva of impaired drivers JO - Journal of forensic sciences A1 - Peel, H. W. A1 - Perrigo, B. J. A1 - Mikhael, N. Z. SP - 185 EP - 189 VL - 29 IS - 1 N2 - This study examined the feasibility of detecting drugs using saliva samples obtained from impaired drivers. Screening procedures on 1- to 2-mL samples were for cannabinoids, volatiles, benzodiazepines, and other acidic/neutral/basic drugs. Methodology consisted of enzyme multiple immunoassay technique (EMIT) and temperature programmed gas chromatography with confirmation by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Fifty-six samples were obtained from drivers arrested for suspicion of impaired driving. Other than alcohol, the major drugs detected were cannabinoids and diazepam. Cocaine was found in one case.
