What Is a Forensic Chemist?
A forensic chemist is a chemist who applies his or her skills to the analysis of evidence from crime scenes. In addition to performing obvious analyses such as investigations into chemicals found at a crime scene, forensic chemists are involved in DNA analysis, arson investigations, and a variety of other types of forensic activities. Every substance at a crime scene which could contain trace elements of chemicals can find its way to the laboratory bench of a forensic chemist for a closer look.
