For example, if a victim was poisoned a forensic toxicologist would examine the body and the poison to have more evidence for the crime. Toxicologists work in different types of laboratories with clean environments to study toxins accurately. Some tools they might use to do this are the blood gas analyzer that analyzes the number of toxic gases in someone's blood or the high-pressure liquid chromatography which helps scientists locate different components in toxins and identify them.  ]]> 2021-10-15 16:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820024465 margaret313847 https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820042303 Since forensic toxicology is science you are obviously going to have to go to college to get into this profession. The minimum schooling requirement is a bleacher's degree which is usually four years however most toxicologists have a master's degree which is an extra 1-2 years depending on the major. There is not a certain major that is required for forensic toxicologists however it does have to be a science. The most common ones are chemistry, forensics, pharmacology, etc. Regardless of your major, you do need to have a background and knowledge about the sciences included in forensic toxicology.  ]]> 2021-10-15 16:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820042303 margaret313847 https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820592019 Forensic toxicologists tend to make a good amount of money. The average earnings for forensic toxicologists with under four years of experience are around $60,000-$80,000 a year. The toxicologists that have worked longer can make around $90,000 a year]]> 2021-10-16 01:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820592019 margaret313847 https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820592433 2021-10-16 01:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820592433 margaret313847 https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820596533 If you are a forensic toxicologist you get to do so many exciting experiments. You would be able to participate investigating toxins in legal cases. You would also get to experience providing court testimony. You would have to explain the evidence found in toxic substances. ]]> 2021-10-16 01:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820596533 margaret313847 https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820601181 There can sometimes be safety issues when it comes to working with toxins. If you aren't wearing the correct equipment you could risk injuries from toxic substances. Another disadvantage of being a forensic toxicologist is that is a hard career to get into if you don't have ALL of the correct qualifications when it comes to researching toxins and understanding a crime.  So if you would like to become a forensic toxicologist you have a lot to look forward too however there will be a lot of pressure also. ]]> 2021-10-16 01:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820601181 margaret313847 https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820602092 2021-10-16 01:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820602092 margaret313847 https://padlet.com/margaret313847/s6qiqitz6p5fn1p1/wish/1820604627 https://www.forensicscolleges.com/careers/forensic-toxicologist
