Forensic chemical analysis of wood could stop illegal logging. A new technique has been developed to tackle illegal logging by pinpointing the wood's origin to a smaller area than ever before (<100 km). Using chemical fingerprinting techniques (DART-TOFMS), they measured compounds in Douglas-fir samples from two Oregon mountain ranges. The screening requires a tiny wood sample, can be prepared in 15 seconds, and showed 70-76% accuracy. Source 4z.
