What are uses of chromatography in crime investigation

There are many uses of chromatography in crime investigation so let us check it out one by one. As we know that chromatography is the method of separation of components from a mixture based on the chemical properties, the samples which are collected at the spot of crime are sent to forensic department , and are detected using chromatography technique which directly or indirectly helps to find the person who has committed crime. So let us check it out some of the uses of chromatography which are as follows.

Uses of chromatography in crime investigation are:-

  1. Blood sample can be detected by using chromatography.
  2. Chemical sample which is found at the crime spot can also be identified  by the use of chromatography.
  3. Sample mixture of gas as well as liquid or solid can by identified by various methods such as gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, solid chromatography or thin layer chromatography.
  4. Forensic department takes item from the seen and by use of chromatography they match the DNA in records and if matched then criminal can be identified.

5 different Types of Air Pollution


Let us see some of the types of air pollution. But before knowing that let us check it out definition of pollution. As we all know that pollution is as unwanted material or something which is added to the environment which causes harmful effect on human beings, animals or all living organism. There are five different types of air pollution which are classified and listed below.

Five different varieties or types of air pollution are as follows:
  1. Industrial air pollution which may arise from thermal power plants, food industry, pesticides, fertilizers and pharmaceutical industry. Due to cement, steel, paper or sugar industry. Air also pollutes due to textile related industries or due to atomic units.
  2. Transportation causes pollution in which vehicles liberates smoke and pollutes surroundings, it may due to all forms of terrestrial transport, urban transport or due to other modes of transport.
  3. Accidental air pollution which may arise due to fires in forests, by accidents of petroleum carrying vehicles or may be due to leakage or a blast in certain industries.
  4. Smog formation, pollution may arise, in which smoke from different industries released in to the environment and then mixes with the fog present in air which is known as Smog.
  5. Pollution by Green house effect in which several important gases are released and combine with air, which rises upward and combine with the atmosphere and return back to the earth and destroy crops, human lives, animals ,plants and livestock etc. 
These are some of the main types of air pollution which are well known. There are other types of pollution such as Water pollution, Soil pollution and much more. please check other articles on this blog.

Quality Audit Frequency and Audit Schedule

Depth And Duration Of Quality Audit: It usually depends on the following parameters.

  • Objectives status and history of organization.
  • Complexity and size of organization.
  • Number of audit criteria.
  • Amount of human and financial resources.
  • Amount of time and expertise of auditors.
Frequency of Quality audit:
  • To optimize the control of significant quality aspects.
  • High risk areas are audited more frequently.
Quality Audit Schedule:
  • It clearly identifies objectives, criteria, scope etc.
  • It contains audit details, site information, date and duration of audit, proposed activities documents required etc.
  • Resulting in greater chances of audit to become more valuable and cost effective.
Notification of Audit:
  • Announcement encourages the organizational units to correct many things in advance on their and set their house in order. Units are noticed in advance so that it may be likely that performance of the audit smoother and fruitful.

Difference between Internal quality audit and External Quality Audit

Difference between Internal Quality Audit and External Quality Audit are As follows , So let us check it out one by one.

  • Internal: Is examination of quality system and procedures in organization "First party audit"
  • External: Is an evaluation of suppliers, contractors etc., "Second or Third Party Audit"
  • Internal:Performed by team drawn from different departments i.e, production , QC, QA etc. is put together design.
  • External: Performed by consultant professional test implement the associations and of course regulatory who are not party to supplier or customers.
  • Internal: Employees may or may not contribute new information and knowledge.
  • External: Contribute lot of information to employees.
  • Internal: Conducted at reasonable internal with covering all areas of function / operations and hence it is very effective to determine non complying activities.
  • External: Conducted infrequently with examine small parts of Productions, Operations and hence ineffective to determine all non complying activities.
  • Internal: Carried Out by people within organization, they are likely to miss out most obvious mistakes.
  • External: Outsider with fresh approach for inspection , they are less likely to miss out most obvious mistakes.

Types of Quality Audit

Adequacy Audit or Document Review:

  • System or management audit.
  • Determine the extent to which document system represent by the quality manual and procedures meets the requirements of applicable standards.

  • Ethical Conduct
  • Fair presentation
  • Due professional care
  • Independence
  • Evidence based approach

What is Quality Audit

Quality Audit can be defined as : "A systematic and independent examination to determine or check whether the quality activities which are performed and the related results comply with the planned arrangements and whether these arrangements are implemented effectively and are suitable to achieve objectives."

The main objective of audit is that it checks the compliance with planned arrangement and implementation.

It is one type of an information gathering activity by the auditors for making improvement and corrective action.

The audit which is performed may be Internal or External and do not necessarily have to cover the whole system at once but it may cover some of the elements of the system.

The first party audit is an audit carried out by an organization itself which is known as Internal Audit.

A second party audit by one organization , working on its own behalf , on another i.e, audit on supplier by a customer
