After death, the human body undergoes various processes that result in the emission of
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The interest in these VOCs has increased substantially …

Soil is an extremely complex and dynamic matrix, in part, due to the wide diversity of
organisms living within it. Soil organic matter (SOM) is the fundamental substrate on which …

The complex process of cadaveric decomposition releases diverse volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) as by-products. These VOCs are significant in forensic science as the …

The complex mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the headspace of
Trappist and craft beers was studied to illustrate the efficiency of thermal desorption (TD) …

Cadaver-detection dogs are trained to locate victim remains; however, their training is
challenging owing to limited access to human remains. Animal analogues, such as pigs, are …

The investigation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with decomposition is
an emerging field in forensic taphonomy due to their importance in locating human remains …

Following a mass disaster, it is important that victims are rapidly located as the chances of
survival decrease greatly after approximately 48 h. Urban search and rescue (USAR) teams …

This study demonstrates the first documented use of comprehensive two-dimensional gas
chromatography–high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC× GC-HRTOFMS) for …

Purpose Cadaver-detection dogs use volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to search for
human remains including those deposited on or beneath soil. Soil can act as a sink for …

Using decomposition odor as forensic evidence remains highly controversial despite well-
established gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) techniques. Although …
