Into the future with breath analysis
Human breath contains up to a thousand volatile organic compounds that, when analysed, can tell a story about a body’s state of health. These chemical compounds reflect the end processes of metabolic pathways. Patterns of compound peaks form ‘signatures’ when breath is analysed into its components and it is these signatures that allow for disease conditions to be identified. ...
