List two significant challenges a forensic toxicologist faces when attempting to identify drugs present in a body.

What will be an ideal response?


The forensic toxicologist often has no clue as to which drug or drugs may be present. Also, by the time a drug specimen reaches the toxicology laboratory, it has been dissipated and distributed throughout the body, so the toxicologist must work with very small amounts of drugs. These small amounts must be carefully extracted from the body before they can be analyzed.
