breath tests

Blow into device

Breath tests are diagnostic procedures that analyze exhaled air.

The most familiar is the roadside breathalyzer, which measures blood alcohol content: She failed the breath test and was arrested for DUI.

Medical breath tests detect conditions like lactose intolerance or bacterial overgrowth by measuring gases produced during digestion.
