Abstract:
An explosion is defined as a violent, shattering action caused by a bomb. The main chemical ingredient of a bomb is the explosive – an endothermic substance which serves as a storehouse of energy. When this energy is suddenly released, in the confined space of the bomb, it causes a devastating effect, resulting in loss of lives and property. As compared to conventional crime scenes, explosion sites are more difficult to process. In many cases a building may have collapsed and the crime scene evidence may have become buried beneath the debris. A vital aspect of forensic investigation of bomb blasts is to establish the explosion seat. Equally important is to identify the type of chemical explosives used to commit the crime. This communication highlights the complications encountered in the management of explosion sites and the difficulties experienced in processing the evidence collected there from. The types of injuries which the victims of explosion suffer are also briefly described.

Abstract:
The paper presents some types of improvised explosive devices (IED) and ways of placing and initiating them in domestic forensic practice. In general, handling explosive devices is very demanding and responsible and it carries many security risks. Therefore, there are specifics in crime scene investigation. The involvement of a specially trained team with knowledge of bomb squad techniques is very important, since there is always a risk of new explosion. When it comes to improvised explosive devices, crime scene investigation is more complex. Every improvised explosive device is unique since its production depends on the knowledge, imagination, experience of the perpetrator and the availability of materials. Thus, such a device can be considered more dangerous compared to military explosive devices from the point of view of bomb-squad techniques, considering that members of the police at the scene find it harder to recognize the device because they cannot find it in professional literature and catalogs. For quality and comprehensive crime scene investigation, it is very important to learn and analyze cases of planted devices, since each scene is unique. The importance of identifying the improvised explosive device is great, considering the fact that it can indicate the source of supply of the explosive substance and other parts of the device, the perpetrator's possession of specific knowledge and the manner of committing the crime. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate possible ways of initiating and placing an explosive device for its easier observation in bomb squad examination and easier crime scene investigation in case of its activation. The paper analyzes the ways in which explosive devices were made, where they were planted, the ways in which the devices were initiated and physical evidence that remained at the crime scene. The research covers the period from 2007 to 2022. The research has shown that improvisation was mainly performed in the initial part of the explosive device, as well as that high explosives were used during the observed period.

Abstract:
The peculiarity of the issues discussed in this article is the study of situational expertise as a type of forensic research. The team of authors consider situational forensic expertise in terms of explosives expertise because this type of research is quite specific. Practice shows that not all participants in the criminal process equally understand the importance of studying the issue related to the situational explosive expertise. There are many examples of errors in the appointment of situational explosive technical expertise, in solving questions by experts during the performance of this type of expertise. However, the most difficult issue is the collection and provision of objects (materials) for expert research. Special attention should be paid to this because based on the results of the situational study, the court makes an important decision on the punishment of the guilty. Carrying out the analysis of the current state of situational expert studies in the sense of appointing and conducting forensic explosive expertise will improve the quality of the investigation of crimes related to the use of explosive devices, ammunition and explosives. The article determines that a feature of the situational explosive expertise is that by its nature, in most cases, it should be a comprehensive forensic expertise. When conducting situational explosive expertise, the results of investigative (search) actions related to the study of the situation at the scene of the incident should be taken into account. The subject of situational explosive expertise is incidents specifically related to the subject of confirmation. Situational explosive expertise is distinguished by the complex and multi-stage nature of the tasks being solved, determined by the specific features of the objects of study, which are multi-component events. Situational explosive expertise is carried out on the basis of the versions put forward by the investigation and the court. When conducting a situational explosive expertise, the results of an inspection of the scene of the incident are used, and in most cases of other investigative (detective) actions, including an investigative experiment, the conclusions of experts regarding previously conducted forensic expertise are taken into account.

Abstract:
Nanotechnology has great influence on modern technology. In order to identify, individualize, andassess evidence, forensic science applies knowledge and methods. Then, with the aid of evidence,crime scenes will be rebuilt, investigations will be directed, and offenders will be prosecuted.Nano-analysis is one of modern technology that is most frequently used in forensic science. Thecharacterization can be done by using tools like the atomic force microscope (AFM), aman microspectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM)(Micro-Raman). Nanotechnologies might be essential in current forensic investigation issues likeforensic toxicological analysis, explosive detection, detection of explosive residue, finger printanalysis, forensic DNA analysis, forensic nano trackers, and drug-facilitated crime.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to study of problems of microtraces classification at the general theoretical and scientific forensic level with subsequent extrapolation to microtraces which form a typical trace evidence picture of forensic characteristics in terrorist nature crimes. The analysis of scientific approaches to the definition of microtrace allows us to identify and outline main features typical for this definition, namely: small size; small amount of substances and materials: invisible or faintly visible under normal conditions of observation; peculiarities of their detection, record, seizure and research. The classification of microtraces based on various grounds is provided. Thus, according to organization of matter (form of physical embodiment), microtraces (microparticles) are divided into: single physical formations (individual physical bodies with a stable form); substances (materials) that do not take the from of an individual body (liquids, powdered substances). In accordance with immediate source of origin, micro-objects are classified into two large groups: parts of natural origin (from natural objects); parts separated from objects that are largely processed or man-made. In the first group, four subgroups must be distinguished: microtraces that have separated from the human body; micro-objects from animal; microparticles from plants; micro-objects of mineral nature. When considering micro-objects in conjunction with carrier objects, they are differentiated by a trace-forming object and the type of contact with the carrier: overlay; inclusion; layering.
 It is noted that the most typical ways of committing terrorist nature crimes are the use of firearms, cold weapons and the use of explosive weapons and / or explosives.
 Taking into account the fact that manufacture, possession and use of explosive weapons or explosives for the investigation of crimes of this category affects the criminal law qualification, tactics of individual investigative actions (eg site inspection, search, etc.). Microtraces can be classified according to conditions and time of their formation into the following groups: formation of microtraces that are associated with illegal manufacture, acquisition, storage, sale of explosive weapons or explosives; microtraces of preparation of explosive weapons directly before the explosion; microtraces of explosive weapons. The analysis of the essence of these situations allowed the author to establish and provide an appropriate list of typical microtraces in investigation of terrorist nature crime.

Abstract:
One of the subjects of criminal encroachment in the commission of a crime under Art. 263-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine are ammunition, explosives and explosive devices. Such objects are capable of causing destruction, have the ability to cause bodily injury or death to a person and form significant material harm. At the present stage, in the absence of a basic law on weapons, in practice, there are certain problems with the qualification of the acts of persons as the illegal manufacture of ammunition, explosives and explosive devices. The article presents the concepts and types of these elements of the forensic characteristics of a crime under Art. 263-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The classification of ammunition, explosives and explosive devices makes it possible to differentiate a specific object as the subject of a crime under Art. 263-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, to determine its forensically significant properties and characteristics. Particular attention is paid to traces that appear at the site of careless handling of ammunition, explosives and explosive devices. To inspect the sites of these incidents, it is imperative to involve specialists in ballistics, explosives specialists, as well as other persons with special knowledge in the field of ballistics and explosives. The presence of these specialists also ensures the safety of other participants in this investigative action. Ammunition, explosives and explosive devices as objects of criminal assault have a close relationship with the personality of the offender, the method of committing a criminal offence and the pattern of traces. Therefore, the establishment of the objects of criminal encroachment and their study allow you to correctly select the methods, techniques and means of investigation, determine the optimal sequence of investigative actions, and also properly ensure the investigation of a crime under Art. 263-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The article concludes with the importance of ammunition, explosives, and explosive devices for establishing the elements of a forensic characterization of a crime under Art. 263-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and the need to use the special knowledge of experts involved in the relevant criminal proceedings.

Abstract:
The article purpose is to analyze the danger of man-made explosions and provide calculation methods for determining the mechanism of the occurrence of an explosion during forensic examinations of the study of the circumstances and mechanism of man-made explosions.
 The relevance of the article is caused by the fact that present-day production and everyday life cannot dispense with the usage of combustible and explosive substances. The particular attention to be paid to emergency prevention related to explosives, as well as the research to determine the mechanism of man-made explosions. The research on the mechanism of man-made explosions will make it possible to determine the technical cause of their occurrence, to analyze for what reason and for whose fault the event occurred, and also what measures should be taken to minimize the likelihood of such situations occurence.
 It is noted that in order to obtain reliable conclusions about the mechanism of man-made explosions, it is necessary to use scientifically based methods and methodologies allowing us to assess the extent of destruction. The degree of destruction of surrounding building structures and harm to people depends on overpressure caused as the result of a significant expansion of the explosion products and their spread to all directions from the center of explosion. The most frequent causes of explosions in the explosive object are: destruction and damage to production tanks, equipment and pipelines; deviation from production regulations (excess pressure and temperature of equipment operating mode), low-quality control of equipment and work while conducting require work, and untimely or poor-quality maintenance of technological equipment.
 The main calculation methods for the research of the man-made explosions in open areas, indoors, and limited space are given, which will allow to systematize the research process and analyze the flow of explosions in specific situations, and to establish a mechanism for their occurrence when conducting forensic examinations of the circumstances and mechanism of man-made explosions.

Abstract:
There is an increase in bombing assaults in recent years in our country. Determining the explosive material used in these cases by the quick and correct analysis of the evidence obtained after the explosions, is an important starting point for the investigations which are done to reach the perpetrators. The forensic chemistry investigations have to be correct, exact and rapid in order to reach the right criminal. In this study, the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Gas Chromatography-Thermal Energy Analyser (GC-TEA) methods which are being used for the determination of the explosive materials&rsquo<br>residues used in bombing attacks are optimized with the standard solutions of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazocyclohexane (RDX) and standard mixture solution. The two methods were compared by analysing the postexplosion soil samples. Also an efficient and applicable sample preparation procedure was developed. The results showed that both methods are efficient and sensitive for the postexplosion investigations. It is seen that GC-TEA has lower detection limit and simple chromatograms due to its selectivity against only nitro group containing explosives. However it is concluded that there is a need for a reliable and sensitive method like GC-MS which provides identification and library search, for the determination of the organic components which can not be identified with GC-TEA

Abstract:
The use of chemometric methods in the analysis process of fire and explosive evidence allows for enhanced detection and classification of target analytes to be achieved. There is a vast amount of research into the application of chemometrics in the analysis of ignitable liquid and explosive residues throughout forensic fire and explosion investigations. This chapter provides an overview of research that focuses on discrimination and classification, as well as the use of experimental design to optimise sampling, storage, and analysis protocols for ignitable liquid and explosive residues. The research discussed demonstrates the usefulness of chemometrics as a tool for the efficient detection and classification of forensic evidence. Further research in this area is needed so that chemometrics may be used for future method development and identification and classification of ignitable liquid and explosive residues in real-life criminal casework.

Abstract:
Flammability properties of solid materials are necessary to be a known parameter for many purposes: among them, forensic investigations of fire and explosion events, fire risk or hazard analysis, design and development of combustion-based systems. However, despite the large quantity of data in the literature, the flammability properties of many materials still appear not to be available or show a degree of uncertainty associated with them, which makes their value limited. The present work is aimed at proposing a calorimetric-based approach to determine some flammability and thermophysical properties of solids, with specific regard to time-to-ignition as a function of the imposed heat flux. Plastic materials have been here chosen as test cases, even though this approach has a general applicability. The two mentioned parameters have been analyzed to provide a quantitative estimation of the critical heat flux (minimum heat flux resulting in ignition). A cone calorimeter has been employed to conduct the experiments: the facility complies with standard ASTM E 1354; the related uncertainty and validity range has been evaluated through an appropriate error analysis. Finally, thermal inertia has been thereby calculated for the considered materials through a simple thermodynamic model, which is based upon critical heat flux and energy conservation.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Understanding how the fireball from a nuclear detonation interacts with its environment is essential to predicting the post-detonation environment, including fallout composition and form. Realistic scenarios for nuclear events inevitably involve complex environments, such as urban settings, however the majority of data informing fallout processes come from environments devoid of relevant buildings or other structures. This paper summarizes recent developments in simulations of above-ground nuclear explosions as part of a broader effort to better characterize conditions within a fireball that may influence the chemical evolution of bomb materials and other materials entrained from the local explosion environment. We discuss our recent improvements in modeling of the coupling of radiation transport and mechanical deformation, as well as the transition from intact materials (e.g., rock, concrete, etc.) into airborne particulates. The entrainment process is particularly important to our investigations because entrained materials are a predominant influence on the chemistry and form of resultant fallout. 1. INTRODUCTION This paper discusses recent efforts as part of an internal research project at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to improve our understanding of the post nuclear detonation environment, including the chemical evolution of species within the fireball, addressing both bomb debris and entrained material. The motivation is to be able to provide actionable information for both forensic (e.g., establishing responsibility for an event) and consequence management (e.g., predicting the activity of respirable particles). Our goal is to be able to simulate complex scenarios that involve conditions outside of historical testing experience, including, for example, an event at street level in an urban environment. Modeling of such scenarios involves capturing a number of physical and chemical processes that span a range of spatial and temporal scales. Fig. 1 shows the approximate sequence of events and associated processes. At early time, the outgoing shockwave and radiation cause damage and vaporization of immediate geologic materials and structure prior to entrainment into the evolving fireball. It is critically important to capture the geomechanical processes at this stage of fireball evolution. The vaporization, pulverization, and comminution of the geologic materials will determine how much mass introduced into the fireball at early time. This entrained material plays at least two critical roles. First, the entrained mass will cool the fireball, leading to more rapid condensation of materials from the plasma state. Second, the entrained material introduces additional chemical species that contribute to subsequent fallout formation. As the fireball expands and radiates, the initial plasma state cools and individual atoms and molecules can develop. During this phase, it is important to be able to predict what specific molecules develop, because some molecules are more refractory than others. For example, depending upon how much oxygen is available, different oxidation states will be achieved with different melting points. Consequently, modeling the mixing of the fireball with both entrained materials and with the atmosphere is key to predicting the initial formation of fallout relevant radionuclide species. With further cooling, nucleation and condensation of particles occurs, and they are subsequently transported to the surrounding environment.

Abstract:
This research focuses on developing two analytical methods for forensic investigations using electrochemical detection and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. For electrochemical analysis, screen-printed carbon electrodes are used to detect metals and nitrate/nitrite compounds commonly found in gunshot residue. Gold electrodeposition and copper modification enhance sensitivity and catalytic activity, respectively. Additionally, a screen-printed gold electrode modified with gold nanoparticles enables surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, requiring only a single drop of sample solution. Testing includes various compounds relevant to forensic identification, with Origin software used for data analysis. These techniques provide rapid and precise onsite examination of gunshot residue and low explosives, eliminating the need for benchtop instruments. Overall, these advancements enhance forensic inquiries and contribute to the ongoing progress of forensic science, aiding law enforcement agencies worldwide in seeking justice.
