Forensics
Forensics can include the application of facts to answer questions
of criminal law pertaining to environmental enforcement investigations.
Forensic specialists can provide
a wide variety of financial, technical, scientific, and regulatory/statutory
information pertaining to facilities, chemicals and pollution
control technologies. Skilled specialists can employ advanced
information techniques and computer technologies to assess, organize
and analyze information in order to prepare for investigations,
settlements, negotiations, and trials. Expert analysis of financial
records can determine ability to pay any proposed fines and/or
cleanup costs.
Environmental Laboratory Forensics
can provide evidence of violations of hazardous waste, water,
and air laws and regulations. Scientific sampling and advanced
laboratory techniques such as Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy
(GC/MS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Scanning Electron Microscope
(SEN) and Inductively Coupled Plasma/Optical Emission Spectroscopy
(ICP/OES) are often employed in demonstrating these violations.
Computer Forensics relates to
computer seizure and recovery of data so that it can be analyzed.
Some areas that can be focused on are laboratory fraud, fraudulent
data reporting issues, internal data and security issues, and
reverse engineering.
