Abstract |
|
|
|
Human exhaled breath constitutes of more than 1000 compounds, some of which have potential to be biomarkers for specific diseases ranging from oxidative stress to lung diseases, metabolic diseases, and cancer. With the advent of new technology has come to wide exploration of the potential of breath analysis for clinical diagnostics and metabolic status monitoring. Here we review the origin of volatile molecules in human exhaled breath, breath biomarkers for specific diseases, and the applications of several sensing technologies including nanosensors and mid-infrared sensors for breath analysis.
