The journal publishes research on the analysis of exhaled breath for diagnostic and monitoring purposes. This includes the identification and measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other biomarkers related to various diseases such as lung cancer, ischemic heart disease, melioidosis, and COVID-19. The scope also covers the development and validation of novel breath sampling and analytical techniques, including the use of machine learning and trained dogs, as well as the investigation of confounding factors in breath analysis.
