Gun Shot Residue
Gun powder burns quickly to produce rapid expansion of gas
The three major elements are lead (Pb), barium (Ba), or antimony (Sb).

Purpose
The purpose of our experiment was to observe the residue left on a person that had been shot at two different distances and angles.
We used the AA and ICP to analyze the shirts and determine the amount of Barium and Lead found on them.

Procedure Day One
Cut t-shirts into “10x10” pieces. Shot a 9 mm
Cut the shirts in half to give a total of 24 samples.

ProcedureDay Two
We made a 0.3 M solution of nitric acid from a 16 M solution.
Used to soak the t-shirts to remove the solid from the shirts and put it into solution.
Made standards of Lead and Barium. 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 ppm.
Let the shirts soak in the acid for 24 hours.

Procedure Day Three
Filtered the shirts. Using vacuum filtration setup we filtered the 24 samples.

Prodecure Day four
Ran our standards and samples using the AA.
found that we needed to make higher concentrated standards because we had residue at higher ppm.
The new standards we made were 10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 ppm of Lead and Barium.

ProcedureDay Four Cont.
We ran all 24 samples on both the ICP and AA.
We found that the ppm was greater on the AA then on the ICP.

Conclusions
The gun shot residue contained more Lead then it did Barium.
We saw higher numbers from the AA because it has lower interference.

Future Work
Use different guns/bullets and test for metals
Test for Antimony as well as Lead and Barium
Shoot from more angles and distances Use the XRF to observe the samples
