Features: The third edition of the forensic toxicology textbook is divided into ten chapters. This edition maintains the basic content of the second edition, edited by Professor Jiang Tao. Considering that undergraduate students in forensic medicine often have limited knowledge and mastery of analytical chemistry, especially instrumental analysis, new content on instrumental analysis has been appropriately added in Chapters 2 and 3, with systematic emphasis on its fundamental principles and applications. Addressing the diversity and complexity of toxicological samples, typical application examples of the various analytical techniques and methods introduced in Chapters 2 and 3 are presented in Chapters 4 to 9, enhancing the practicality of this edition for readers to refer to and apply in actual work. The 21st century is an information-based era, and establishing an information system related to toxicological analysis is an effective means of improving analysis speed. Therefore, this edition is the first to dedicate a chapter (Chapter 10) to introducing the basic knowledge and content of forensic toxicological analysis information systems. Additionally, each chapter includes review questions or exercises, and the end features references and a Chinese index. New appendices have been added, including Appendix I: "List of Narcotic Drugs," Appendix II: "List of Psychotropic Drugs," and Appendix III: "List of Toxic Traditional Chinese Medicines and Western Pharmaceutical Toxic Substances," making this edition more comprehensive and valuable as a reference. This textbook is suitable for undergraduate students in forensic medicine, pharmacy, as well as forensic toxicologists and related research and technical personnel engaged in toxicological analysis.
