Detection and identification of tridemorph fungicide by gas-liquid and thin layer chromatography: A case study.

ABSTRACT

Tridemorph is a widely used fungicide for crops, and is fairly frequently encountered in forensic toxicology. The aim of this paper is to describe the postmortem changes in a case of death due to tridemorph poisoning, the procedure of extraction from forensic samples, and detection and identification by thin layer and gas-liquid chromatography using a new solvent system and spray reagent, on the basis of an actual case of tridemorph fungicide exposure death.
