✦ Synopsis
Neutron activation analysis has been extensively investigated for forensic purposes: identijcation problems, falsiJications, toxicology and gunshot residues. The enthusiasm with which the technique was welcomed for this purpose was exaggerated. The essential problem lies in the interpretation of the results of the chemical analysis and the relevance to a particular legal issue. Important statistical background data, combined with a realistic consideration of all the possibilities, are indispensable requisites.
