TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Analysis of human tissue samples for volatile fire accelerants JO - Archiv für Kriminologie A1 - Treibs, Rudolf SP - 95 EP - 113 VL - 233 IS - 3-4 N2 - In police investigations of fires, the cause of a fire and the fire debris analysis regarding traces of fire accelerants are important aspects for forensic scientists. Established analytical procedures were recently applied to the remains of fire victims. When examining lung tissue samples, vapors inhaled from volatile ignitable liquids could be identified and differentiated from products of pyrolysis caused by the fire. In addition to the medico-legal results this evidence allowed to draw conclusions as to whether the fire victim was still alive when the fire started.
