Toxic Truths: Exploring the Challenges in Modern Forensic Toxicology

Author(s) Mr. Md. Imran Wahab, Dr. Pragnesh B. Parmar
Country India
Abstract Forensic toxicology plays a critical role in criminal investigations by analysing biological and environmental samples to identify toxic substances related to drug overdoses, poisonings, and impaired driving, significantly impacting legal proceedings. However, the field faces substantial challenges including the emergence of novel psychoactive substances (NPS), evidence degradation, and a lack of standardized methodologies, which impede accurate toxin detection and interpretation. These limitations directly impact the pursuit of justice. Furthermore, evolving drug trends and the complexity of biological samples necessitate innovative solutions and collaborative efforts from toxicologists, chemists, and legal experts. This research article explores these existing obstacles, encompassing technological limitations, sample degradation, as well as legal and ethical dilemmas surrounding evidence handling. It offers a critical review of existing research and proposes strategies to improve the field’s reliability and efficacy within judicial contexts. Ultimately, by directly addressing these key issues, the field of forensic toxicology will be better poised to enhance its contribution to the justice system.
