This includes categorizing and segregating toxins and determining the impact that it may have on fauna or flora as well as human beings. The best part about lab work is that it is often necessary for a forensic toxicologist to experiment on bacteria and the like to gauge the molecular effects of the toxin involved. Your work would also consist of hours spent working in the lab using microscopes or viewing digital images of toxins on slides or cultures.

Fieldwork:
Chances are that as a forensic toxicologist you would be able to spend a portion of you day out in the field examining sites that may or may not have toxic residue. These can include various short diagnostic tests or collecting samples to take back to the lab for in-depth analysis.

Analysis:
Using the results from completed experiments conducted in the lab or out in the field, a forensic toxicologist will then spend time analyzing data, reconfirming the initial results and comparing it with other viable research.

Advisory work:
This includes reports, scientific papers, formal presentation of findings, or, depending on if and what they specialize in and how relevant it is to the case, they might even be called in as expert witnesses to testify on behalf of or against a client.
