abstract="<p>The use of breath analysis for alcohol detection in law enforcement can be more complicated than it appears at first glance.  There are many areas to be considered.  It is not enough to use a breath analysis instrument and feel that this is sufficient evidence with which to pursue a charge in the courts. Several matters must be given some thought.  There is the legislation which must determine who will be tested and under what circumstances.  The operator must possess a level of proficiency which will give the breath-testing procedure credibility.  Maintenance and service of the instrument must also have a place.  The choice of the most appropriate instrument is a matter for each local authority to determine and it will depend upon local needs.  It should be noted, however, that what may be scientifically acceptable may not be acceptable to the courts.  This editorial attempts to display some of the strengths and weaknesses involving the practice of breath analysis and of the instruments used in this practice.  Ethanol impaired driving</p>",
