Abstract Details

2019, Bachelor of Science (BS), Ohio University, Chemistry.
A method for testing fire debris to identify common ignitable liquids present in fire debris samples is proposed. The sampling method used is solid-phase microextraction paired with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The data was analyzed using principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis. This method was successfully implemented to classify burned carpet samples as belonging to one of three classes: carpet samples with no ignitable liquids present, carpet samples with gasoline present, and carpet samples with diesel fuel present.
