Abstract

Illegal trades carried out by criminal organisations are a major threat to health and security worldwide. Criminal organisations are trading both drugs of abuse and illegal pharmaceutical products and supplements. The aim of our research is to show how nuclear techniques can support the protection of public health and the fight against illegal trades of interest for forensic toxicology, providing key analytical information.

Abstract

Levoglucosan was present in all samples and its concentrations showed a pronounced annual cycle with maximum levels in the cold season. The annual percentage of ratios of levoglucosan to OC ranged from 0.04 to 9.75% evidencing a major contribution of biomass burning to the aerosol OC during the winter. In the urban-background site, OC was strongly correlated with EC in winter, suggesting that the major fraction of OC was generated as primary particles along with EC. A background levoglucosan component showed that biomass burning was continuously taking place in all the investigated sites. The biomass burning contribution to the Tuscany aerosol was made up of a background component and an additional component during winter probably due to wood burning for domestic heating.
