 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]One of the main disadvantages in this field is the lack of trained specialists.[1] As of 2008, there are no academic centers or training facilities for the use of pollen in forensics in the U.S. [2][1] This is crucial because of the expertise required to identify palynomorphs and to apply the data to geolocation information.[3] Many things could go wrong and invalidate any samples collected, especially if the personnel handling them is not experienced. On the subject of experience, contamination is another major problem that can invalidate the use of a sample as evidence. Therefore it is important that samples are collected early on with collection sites identified depending on the case.[4]
Limited access to international databases can also prove to be an issue when it comes time for the analyst to identify pollen evidence to a specific family or genus of plants.[5] Currently, a database from Austria called PalDat exists but there are no known databases to exist for North America.
