The authors review the breath alcohol measurement method based on infrared absorptiometry and its literature. In a comparative study a person's breath alcohol content was measured by either Siemens Alcomat or Seres Ethylometer instrument in routine road-blocks controls and in experiments and was compared to his/her blood alcohol level. Using the conversion factor of 2100:1 there was a high correlation between the breath and blood alcohol levels using either instrument. Despite using a single method either Siemens Alcomat or Seres Ethylometer 679-TH instrument can be recommended for evidential breath alcohol testing of driving under the influence of alcohol in routine road-blocks controls.
In 1996 the United Kingdom's Health and Safety Executive introduced biological monitoring guidance values for six substances, butoxyethanol, N,N-dimethylacetamide, lindane, methylene-bis(2-chloroaniline), mercury and methylenedianiline. These guidance values were set as either health-based values or hygiene-based values calculate according to the 90th percentile (benchmark concept). Recent technical developments from the Health and Safety Laboratory are described in this paper and include: (i) the use of breath analysis as a useful non-invasive routine monitoring technique; (ii) flow cytometry as a means for measuring different patterns of immune cell activation from workers exposed to respiratory sensitisers when compared with those exposed to chemical irritants; (iii) the use of molecular techniques to explore the possible role of individual susceptibility in the development and severity of glomerulonephritis; (iv) the development of expert systems for predicting the skin permeability of chemicals, and respiratory and skin sensitisation.
