【 摘 要 】

Biologicalsamples from the victims of aviation accidents are submitted to the CivilAerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) for toxicological evaluation. Bodycomponents of aviation accident fatalities are often scattered, disintegrated,commingled, contaminated, and/or putrefied at accident scenes. These situationsmay impose difficulties in victim identification and tissue matching, therebyin the toxicological analysis of authentic samples and the interpretation ofthe associated analytical results.
