Simultaneous measurement of inhaled air and exhaled breath by double multicapillary column ion-mobility spectrometry, a new method for breath analysis: results of a feasibility study

The high sensitivity of the methods applied in breath analysis entails a high risk of detecting analytes that do not derive from endogenous production.
