Taking a breath for better health
Killard, Anthony
Authors
Abstract
What does your breath say about you? It might tell the world (or at least anyone at close quarters) that you didn’t brush your teeth this morning, or that you ate garlic last night. But there might also be other, subtle and important clues in there about your state of health – if you know how to look for them. These volatile compounds could be signals of disease, and there’s a push towards developing convenient tests and arrays of sensors that would allow patients to simply blow into a device to get their analysis.
