Forensic chemists and toxicologists work with drugs and poisons, but they each start with different evidence. Forensic chemists working in a crime lab must determine if the physical evidence they receive is an illegal substance such as marijuana or cocaine. They are also responsible for samples-including fire debris, soil, paint, glass, explosives, and fibers-obtained from suspected arson crimes.
