Intended for toxicologists, medical review officers and pathologists, this reference volume covers the cutting-edge methods used in modern drug testing that can detect all types of substance and alcohol abuse while circumventing urinary adulterants used by "cheaters." Editor Dasgupta (pathology and laboratory medicine, U. of Texas Health Sciences Center, Houston) has collected the latest research from experts in the field to cover such topics as the legal aspects of drug testing in the US military and civil courts, drug screening with low cutoff values and testing of non-SAMHSA drugs. The effects of diluted urine, flushing agents and cleansing agents are also reviewed.
