New designer drugs, access to databases, and changing availability
of samples for analysis have changed the face of modern forensic
toxicology in recent years. Forensic Toxicology: Drug Use and
Misuse brings together the latest information direct from experts
in each sub-field of the discipline providing a broad overview of
current thinking and the most innovative approaches to case
studies. The text begins with an in-depth discussion of pharmaco
epidemiology, including information on the value of nationwide
databases in forensic toxicology. The use and abuse of drugs in
driving, sport and the workplace are then discussed by industry
experts who are conducting case work in their field. Not only are
new drug groups discussed (NPS), but also their constantly changing
impact on drug legislation. Synthetic cannabinoids, khat and
mephodrone are discussed in detail. Following a section devoted to
legislation and defence, readers will find comprehensive chapters
covering sample choice reflecting the increasing use of hair and
oral fluid, and also the less commonly used sweat and nail
analysis. New and old case examples are compared and contrasted in
the final part of the book, which will enable readers to understand
how drugs impact on each other and how the interpretative outcome
of a case are dependent on many aspects. From use of pharmaceutical
drugs in a clinical setting, through smart drugs to new
psychoactive drugs, this book documents the wide range in which
drugs today are abused. This book will be an essential resource for
postgraduate students in forensic toxicology, and for researchers
in forensic toxicology laboratories who need the latest data and
knowledge.
