  • "During the investigation of aviation accidents, postmortem samples from accident victims are submitted to the FAA's Civil Aerospace Medical Institute for toxicological analysis. To determine if the accident victim was exposed to an in-flight/post crash fire or faulty heating/exhaust system, the analysis of carbon monoxide (CO) is conducted. This laboratory encountered difficulties with many of our postmortem samples while employing a commonly used GC method so a new GC method was applied to putrefied and non-putrefied postmortem samples. Postmortem samples were analyzed with our spectrophotometric method, a GC method commonly used without reducing agent, and a new GC method with the addition of sodium dithionite. As expected, we saw errors up to and exceeding 50% when comparing the unreduced GC results with our spectrophotometric method. With our new GC procedure, which incorporates a reducing agent, the error was virtually eliminated."
