Abstract	The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate several commercially available breath-alcohol screening test devices of the length-of-stain type, under standardized laboratory conditions, with respect to their ability satisfactorily to detect and quantitate alcohol in vapor specimens; (2) to investigate the several breath parameters, e.g., temperature, volume, pressure, flow rate, which potentially affect the reliability and validity of breath-alcohol screening tests, and (3) to evaluate these findings with respect to their bearing upon breath-alcohol screening tests.
