This study investigates the interaction of blood with three soil types roadside soil, construction soil, and red soil under varying environmental conditions: cold, indoor (room temperature), and outdoor exposure. Using phenolphthalein reagent for blood decomposition and pH paper for chemical analysis, observations were made over ten days. Results show significant variations in pH levels and blood decomposition rates depending on soil type and environment. This research offers valuable insights for forensic science, particularly in crime scene reconstruction and estimation of bloodstain age.
