ESTIMATION OF THE LEVEL OF BLOOD ALCOHOL FROM ANALYSIS OF BREATH
Studies are reported of the distribution of alcohol between alveolar air, or rebreathed air, and blood of human subjects; the temperature at which the breath leaves the mouth was studied as well as the reliability of the breath alcohol-carbon dioxide ratio for predicting blood alcohol. The possible loss of alcohol from condensed moisture inside the balloon was studied, as well as correlation between alcohol, and alcohol in a given volume of ordinary expired air. Experimental details are described and the study results are discussed.
