Goals The aim of this course is to have knowledge about the techniques that allowed the toxicological investigations of minerals and metals in the bones and to teach how to use the learned techniques.
Course Content Introduction and general information will be given. Information about metal chemistry will be explained. In this context, the specific metals that cause toxicity will be given in details. Methods for the preparation and analyze bone samples such as spectroscopic methods, electrochemical methods and separation methods. etc.
Learning Outcomes 1) Develop the Forensic Chemistry and Forensic Toxicology basic knowledge in current and advanced levels.
2) Have required tool and equipment knowledge in the field of forensic chemistry and forensic toxicology.
3) Perform researches and diagnostic studies in the field of forensic chemistry and forensic toxicology as a member of a team or independently.
4) Evaluate and use the new knowledge and technologies with critical approach in the field of forensic chemistry and forensic toxicology.
5) Follow occupational and technological development in forensic chemistry, forensic toxicology and related areas.
6) Act appropriately to the researching ethics.
7) Sensitive to human rights, patient rights, animal rights and the environment
8) Determine a subject from proposals and prepare a report about this subject.
