Significance of variations in blood: breath partition coefficient of alcohol.
A helium-neon laser was used to measure the alcohol content of breath from six volunteers at regular intervals over up to four hours. The corresponding blood values were calculated with a blood : breath partition coefficient of 2100. When these values were compared with those obtained by direct measurement it was obvious that substantial variations occurred from one person to another in the der...
متن کاملMedicolegal Alcohol Determination - Blood- or Breath-Alcohol Concentration?
Measuring the concentration of alcohol in body fluids represents a large part of the workload at forensic science and toxicology laboratories. In traffic-law enforcement, breath-alcohol testing is used worldwide for roadside screening and for evidential purposes. Many jurisdictions have adopted per se laws which make it a crime to drive with a blood- or breath-alcohol concentration above a pres...
متن کاملMedicolegal alcohol determination: variability of the blood- to breath-alcohol ratio and its effect on reported breath-alcohol concentrations.
There is substantial agreement among scientists that the variability of a person's blood- to breath-alcohol ratio contributes significantly to the experimental error in results from breath-alcohol analysis. Some have argued that the need to correct for this source of error can be eliminated by reporting breath test results in units of breath-alcohol concentration rather than blood-alcohol conce...
متن کاملEXPERIMENTALl ANALYSIS OF PARTITION COEFFICIENT IN Al-Mg ALLOYS
Because the partition coefficient is one of the most important parameters affecting microsegregation, the aim of this research is to experimentally analyse the partition coefficient in Al-Mg alloys. In order to experimentally measure the partition coefficient, a series of quenching experiments during solidification were carried out. For this purpose binary Al-Mg alloys containing 6.7 and 10.2 w...
متن کاملReply to 'Incorrect reanalysis of breath/blood alcohol data'.
The recent letter to the editor, "Incorrect Reanalysis of Breath/Blood Alcohol Data," by Wigmore and Robinson (1), is a restatement of the obvious. Of course it is important to know the shape of the distribution of in vivo blood/breath ratios in order to determine the uncertainty in BACs that occurs when breath analysis is used. It was not I, but Dubowski who stated the blood/breath ratio follo...
