6.05 Ignitable Liquids (50 Points) Recovering Ignitable Liquids Gather information about at least three methods investigators use to identify the presence of ignitable liquids. Describe how the method is used and some advantages and disadvantages of that method. Method to identify ignitable liquids (1 point each) Describe how it is used (2 points each) Advantages (2 points each) Disadvantages (2 points each) 1. GC It is used to separate and analyze components in mixture chromatographically Spped of analysis high sensitivity Limited to volatile sample Does not react with column 2. MS Analyzed substance for suspected drugs by toxicologists Sensitivity specificity Not good of identifying Carbons that produce similar ions 3. UV The band of wavelengths between visible light and x rays that can’t be seen by humans The pour patterns are identified and this means it accelerate long after its order is discernible. Sun burn the eyes and burn the skin Long exposure times 4. As an investigator, which method would you choose to search for ignitable liquids at the scene of a recent apartment fire? Explain your reasoning. (2 points) A UV light because uv lights are a really kind of special unique light and it can get the smoke out of the aparments. Select three of the following types of evidence and describe the process for collecting them during a fire investigation. Types of evidence: carpet, tile, cement, linoleum, sand or soil, wood flooring Type of evidence Best portion/location to collect from (2 points) How to collect (2 points) 5. carpet Under furniture It’s a long process to collect but to make it simple photograph if it is damaged and if a suspect area is identified cut a long strip of © ACCESS Virtual Learning 2020
carpet for further analyzing 6. wood flooring Floor patterns where wood gained is aligned vertically It is a long process but to make it simple use a wood chisel and hand sledge to cut the slivers from both sides of the joined board seams and after this further analyze. 7. linoleum Sampling from different materials and using the right tools. It is a long process but to make it simple identify the edge of the pool. Cut long strips of flooring along the periphery zone and further analyze. 8. Which of these types of material will likely contain the most useful amount of ignitable liquid evidence? Explain. (2 points) wood flooring because many arsonists or fire starters pour liquids that are flammable/ignitable on floors or walls and stairs. 9. What type of container is best for packaging these types of evidence? (2 points) An evidence can 11. Explain what a reference sample is and why it is collected. (3 points) It is for comparison and elimination reasons. Analyzing Evidence 11. What two methods are utilized to analyze ignitable liquids after they are collected and transported to the lab? (2 points) Mass spectrometry and gas chromatography Examine the graph below and answer the following questions. © ACCESS Virtual Learning 2020
