 Forensic toxicology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Determining the substance ingested is often complicated by the body's natural processes, as it is rare for a chemical to remain in its original form once in the body.
Provided with this information and samples with which to work, the forensic toxicologist must determine which toxic substances are present, in what concentrations, and the probable effect of those chemicals on the person.
A forensic toxicologist must consider the context of an investigation, in particular any physical symptoms recorded, and any evidence collected at a crime scene that may narrow the search, such as pill bottles, powders, trace residue, and any available chemicals.

Toxicology provides a key scientific analysis of chemicals in humans and their environment and is a powerful weapon in an attorney's arsenal of evidence.

Such an approach is especially necessary to establish scientific certainty in the more cutting-edge areas of forensic toxicology.
