Exhaled breath analysis is a method in medicine for gaining information on the clinical state of an individual by monitoring the components present in the exhaled breath.
It is a non-invasive method and breath samples can be extracted as often as desired.[1]
Identification and quantification of potential disease biomarkers can be seen as the driving force for the analysis of exhaled breath.[2] Moreover, future applications for medical diagnosis and therapy control with dynamic assessments of normal physiological function or pharmacodynamics are intended.
Breath analysis is performed using various approaches for sampling and analysis.
volatile organic compounds
, for example in blood alcohol testing, and various analytical methods can be applied.
This latter field is related to that of Bioaerosol sampling and analysis.
