Abstract

Performing calculations related to ethanol is a common practice for forensic toxicologists, however, there can be significant variability in how this work is conducted. This variability exists from state to state and between labs within a state, but can even extend to analysts within a single laboratory. ANSI/ASB BPR 122, Best Practice Recommendations for Performing Alcohol Calculations in Forensic Toxicology was developed to improve the quality and consistency of this service. This session will review the pharmacokinetic principles of alcohol as they relate to performing calculations in forensic toxicology casework. The recommendations contained within ANSI/ASB BPR 122 will be discussed and examples will be provided of how to apply those to real-world case scenarios.
