Abstract:
The diatom test has been used as a main diagnotic method of drowning.but itis doubful and even is considered valueless by some authors nowadays for it hasbeen proved by Niles Forged(1983)that the diatoms found in the internal organsof submerged corpses might be inspired into the body during fhe lifeWe believed that the diagnosis of drowning might be made by examining lungchlorophyll(a)of planktons with spectro-fluorophotometer qualitatively and quantitatively.According to our experimental stuudiesIt is confirmed that this method could be used for the diagnosis of drowning.Mean while two cases submerged in water were investigate.and the causesof deathwere diagnosed correctly.It is concluded that the examination of the lungchlorophyll(a)of planktoms could be used as a reliable diagnostic method infore nsic practice
