Due to their microscopic size, ubiquity, and resistance to destruction, pollen grains are an especially valuable biological material that can be used in forensic investigations.
Determination of the species composition of pollen grains deposited on the clothing and skin of the people walking in Włodawa County during the summer.
Pollen grains deposited on the surface of the skin and garments of individuals walking in four villages of Włodawa County were analysed. The material was sampled using two-sided adhesive tape. The qualitative and quantitative composition of pollen grains was evaluated after analysis of microscopic slides at 400-x magnification.
In the present investigations, we identified pollen grains of plants flowering in summer, i.e. in the experimental period. The palynological analyses indicate that the surface of clothes on the shoulders and the surface of the forearm skin are the most suitable areas for deposition of pollen grains, whereas the lowest amounts of pollen were noted on the calves. The statistical analysis shows that the differences in the number of sporomorphs deposited on the different surfaces are not statistically significant.
Palynological material collected from suspects or victims should be taken from various parts of clothing and skin, because it does not attach to them in the same way.
由于花粉颗粒体积微小、无处不在且具有抗破坏能力,它们是一种特别有价值的生物材料,可用于法医调查。
确定夏季在沃瓦县行走的人们的衣物和皮肤上沉积的花粉颗粒的物种组成。
对在沃瓦县四个村庄行走的个体的皮肤表面和衣物上沉积的花粉颗粒进行了分析。使用双面胶带对材料进行采样。在400倍放大倍数下分析显微镜载玻片后,对花粉颗粒的定性和定量组成进行了评估。
在本研究中,我们鉴定出了在夏季(即实验期间)开花的植物的花粉颗粒。孢粉学分析表明,肩部衣物表面和前臂皮肤表面是花粉颗粒沉积的最合适区域,而小腿上的花粉量最少。统计分析表明,沉积在不同表面上的孢子体数量差异无统计学意义。
从嫌疑人或受害者身上收集的孢粉学材料应取自衣物和皮肤的各个部位,因为花粉颗粒附着在它们上面的方式不尽相同。
