In response to the growing threat of terrorism, improving the analysis of explosives is crucial for assisting forensic scientists in analysing post-blast debris and helping law enforcement agencies to establish appropriate regulations. The current research focuses on using nuclear magnetic resonance technology to identify the structural composition of explosives from post-blast debris.
The growing threat of terrorism has triggered an urgent need to find effective ways to improve the analysis of explosives. This will aid forensic scientists in analysing the post-blast debris, which in turn helps the law enforcement agencies to frame suitable regulations. Analysis of post-blast debris is challenging as it hosts a massive amount of complexity. There are various techniques reported till date such as mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy for the analysis of post-blast residues. However, none of them has been able to identify the structural composition of the explosives. The current research study focuses on identifying the structural composition of the explosives from the post-blast debris using the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology. The post-blast analytes were extracted from soil samples, cleaned by the solid phase extraction (SPE) method and were rapidly analysed by the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. This paper reports the identification of nitro organic explosives such as pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenylmethylnitramine (tetryl) in post-blast debris by 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer.
