Instrument that can "see" the signs of rotten egg-smelling H sulfide in mouth air. The device measures the fluorescence produced when such compds react with Hg. Most cases of bad breath, result from bacteria in the mouth that break down protein & release volatile S compds. However, halitosis sufferers generally cannot detect the foul odor themselves. And previous chemical-sensing detectors have tended to be bulky & inaccurate According to inventor, the optical method may prove to be more practical. Detection is straightforward: The greater the concn. of S compds in a person's breath, the greater the fluorescence produced by the reaction of compds with Hg. And through the use of fiber-optic technology, the inventor expects to be able to shrink the device to hand-held size in near future |
