International workshop on CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF HUMAN SCENT FOR FORENSIC PURPOSES

Original language description

The international workshop ‘Chemical Analysis of Human Scent for Forensic Purposes’ is organized with an essential aim to establish a scientific community in the forensic olfactronics. Such a community should be supporting collaborations between particular groups and in this way accelerating olfactronic research.We believe that this workshop should be a first step towards building an international network of researchers and practitioners capable of bringing new olfactronic methods into forensic work, respectively police practice.Thus, it is primarily a detailed chemical analysis of human odor. This work includes the choice of a sorbent for odor collection, collection methodology for both laboratory studies and police practice, i.e., at the crime scene.Special attention will be paid to the digitization of odor samples, the search for the so-called “odor signatures” in digital form and, of course, the creation of a database of odor signatures, which can significantly expand the possibilities of individual odor identification.In principle, forensic olfactronics also enables the acquisition of additional information about the person who left the scent trail. Our analyzes show that, within the framework of so-called group identification, the scent trace enables the determination of gender, blood group, ethnic origin (distinguishing Europeans from Asians, Blacks, Indians, etc.), Rh-factors, and a number of other characteristics of an individual.Developing an objective method of measuring individual human scent and digitizing the information would constitute a significant advance for forensic science and police practice. Human scent would join fingerprints, DNA and other biometric information as a marker by which persons of interest (criminals, crime victims, missing persons, etc.) could be identified. Courts would have a new, significant tool at their disposal to make judgements in criminal proceedings, while innocent persons could be cleared of guilt based on the comparison of their scent signature with that found at the crime scene.
