EIGHT DISPOSABLE SCREENING DEVICES FOR BREATH TESTING OF BLOOD ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION ARE EVALUATED FOR POSSIBLE USE IN PRE-ARREST SCREENING OF MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATORS SUSPECTED OF DRINKING. POOR RESULTS ARE OBTAINED FOR MOST OF THE SCREENING DEVICES, AND ACCURACY IS EXPECTED TO BE WORSE UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS.
