Drink, drugs and disease the chemistry of the breath

ZP is delighted that our friends at Exhalation are featured in Chemistry World this month.

 

Exhalation Technology is a small start-up company based in Cambridge, UK, specialising in testing exhaled breath condensate (EBC). It has an interesting history, as Stig Brejl, one of its directors, explains. ‘Racehorses often suffer from an asthma-like condition that affects their form, and it is important to diagnose this early enough to pull an affected horse from a race. Working with David Marlin at the Animal Health Trust in Newmarket, UK, we identified hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in horse breath as an inflammatory biomarker for this condition and developed a diagnostic device that can be used without veterinary training.’
