The quality of the air that we inhale depends on our immediate environment, but what we exhale is based on the biochemical processes occurring in our bodies. Thus, our exhalation can be used as a health indicator, and should be especially sensitive to the state of our lungs. Over the years, scientists across multiple disciplines have worked on ways to use exhaled breath for detecting diseases and measuring chemical changes. The breathalyzer, which estimates blood alcohol content, is a popular example of success in the field; the method is simple, noninvasive, portable, and affordable.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/44108D3C-E448-4AFF-B986-29873CCCB615/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
