The human body secretes a complex blend of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) via the
skin, breath and bodily fluids, the study of which can provide valuable insight into the …

Early disease diagnosis is crucial for human healthcare and successful therapy. Since any
changes in homeostatic balance can alter human emanations, the components of breath …

In recent years, interest has increased regarding the identification of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) for metabolic profiling, human scent identification of the living and …

We review methodological approaches commonly employed for the determination of human-
body-odor (BO) components. As a first step, we evaluate the common types of BO and the …

Abstract Introduction Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can arise from underlying
metabolism and are detectable in exhaled breath, therefore offer a promising route to non …

Humans occupy and form the centerpiece of the built environment. However, humans have
been traditionally treated as passive receptors in the context of the environment. Growing …

Volatile compounds, abundant in breath, can be used to accurately diagnose and monitor a
range of medical conditions. This offers a noninvasive, low-cost approach with screening …

Breath analysis is a young field of research with its roots in antiquity. Antoine Lavoisier
discovered carbon dioxide in exhaled breath during the period 1777–1783, Wilhelm (Vilém) …

Abstract Analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a promising approach for non-
invasive, fast and potentially inexpensive diagnostics. Here, we present a new methodology …

Distinctive odors or volatile profiles are often a consequence of disease. A portion of these
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are excreted into the exhaled breath and urine and …
