【 摘 要 】

For aircraft accident investigations, samples from pilot fatalities are analyzed at the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) for the presence of combustion gases, alcohols/volatiles, and drugs. Throughout this forensic toxicological process, a high degree of quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) is maintained, and quality improvement is continuously pursued.
