에틸글루쿠로나이드(EtG)와 에틸설페이트(EtS)로 사후 검출된 에탄올을 판단하다 ‒ 음주 시점 및 양(g/kg) 평가
Detected Ethanol in Postmortem is Proved Using Ethyl Glucuronide(EtG) and Ethyl Sulfate(EtS) ‒ Assessment of Drinking Time and Ethanol Dose(g/kg)
It is very important to determine whether ethanol(ethyl alcohol, EtOH) detection is due to EtOH of drinking or fermentation EtOH of postmortem. Fermentation EtOH can be simply produced in a short period of time, therefore, it makes a clear distinction between fermentation EtOH and EtOH of drinking. It was necessary to suspect the possibility that the detection of EtOH was determined less than 0.50 g/L of EtOH. In the case of this study, the woodworker died in a fall while working, 0.24 g/L of EtOH was detected, and n-propanol(n‒PrOH) and n-butanol(n‒BuOH) of indicator in the decomposed body were not detected. Further analysis of ethyl glucuronide(EtG) and ethyl sulfate(EtS) showed that EtG was 0.26 mg/L, and EtS was 0.14 mg/L. The results confirmed that the worker was drunk during the incident. Moreover, when the EtOH‒to‒EtG ratio in blood(EtOH in g/L, EtG in mg/L) and EtG or EtS concentration(mg/L) are determined, the drinking time and the amount of the drinking can be estimated. According to our previous results with reference, in the case of the worker could be estimated to drink about 3‒4 hours, and the amount of EtOH was about 0.5 g/kg(EtOH dose/body weight). Therefore, two subsequent EtG/EtOH ratio and EtG or EtS in blood supports information of recent drinking.

법과학 분야는 사회정의 구현에 있어 크나큰 가치가 있음에도 불구하고 우리나라에서는 이 분야에 대한 인식이 미흡하여 선진 외국에 비해 침체되어 있는 실정이다. 이에 우리나라에서도 법과학 분야와 관련 있는 학계, 연구기관, 수사기관 등 유관 단체들로 구성된 한국 법과학회를 창립하여 이 분야를 활성화 시켜 과학수사를 한층 더 발전시키기 위함을 목적으로 한다.
