Methanol detection in spiked breath. a Response of the methanol detector to breath of an intoxicated volunteer (0.54‰ blood alcohol level) sampled from Tedlar bags. The blue dashed line shows the measurement from the normal breath sample and the red solid line from the spiked sample with 135 ppm methanol, indicating methanol intoxication. The PTR-TOF-MS measurements (with separation column and dilution) of the same samples for b methanol and c ethanol. The instrument shown in c is a PTR-TOF-MS 1000 (Ionicon, Austria) used for sensor validation. Hydrogen (H2) is not retained by the separation column and does not interfere with the methanol detector
