RESUMO
The aim of the project was to investigate the damage to garments caused by particular vapour cloud explosions. The authors would like to be able to provide investigators with specific information on how to link clothes to a specific type of crime: a particular case study was the inspiration for the examinations. Experiments were carried out in the fire reconstruction chamber of the laboratory using a selection of 26 clothes and 15 household garments differing in colour, fibre composition and textile construction.
RESUMO
A study to determine the changes in the morphological structure of woollen fabric and fibres of military uniforms, after burial in biologically active soil for a particular period of time. The analysis of fabric and fibres was performed by means of organoleptic and microscopic observations. The final decay of the fabric of soldiers' uniforms took place after 5-6 weeks burial in the standardised bioactive soil. The changes of the morphological structure of fabric undergoing the process of biodegradation depended mainly on the duration of their burial in the soil.
