, &
Pages 122-128 | Published online: 29 Apr 2019
 

Abstract

Two cases where elemental mercury was intentionally added to the victim’s food are briefly described. Elemental mercury may be identified by using a combination of physical properties (appearance and specific gravity) and elemental analysis (scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry).

RÉSUMÉ

Deux dossiers dans lesquels du mercure élémentaire a été ajouté intentionnellement à la nourriture de la victime sont brièvement décrits. Le mercure élémentaire peut être identifié en utilisant une combinaison de ses propriétés physiques (apparence et gravité spécifique) et de l’analyse élémentaire (microscopie électronique à balayage en combinaison avec la microanalyse par rayons X à dispersion d’énergie)
