abstract="It is well known that volatile substances on the breath of test subjects have the potential to interfere with infrared-based breath alcohol testing instruments. This case report involves a 68-year-old male who was arrested for suspected alcohol-impaired driving. He worked for a company where he was exposed to acetone and toluene. The subject ultimately provided two breath samples into the Intoxilyzer® 8000C resulting in two &quot;Interferent Detect&quot; messages. Subsequent analysis of a blood sample using headspace gas chromatography detected: ethanol at 101 mg/100 mL, acetone at 17 mg/100 mL, isopropanol at 10 mg/100 mL, methanol at 26 mg/100 mL and toluene (<2.5 mg/L). This case provides an example of two &quot;Interferent Detect&quot; messages obtained from a driver and demonstrates the ability of the Intoxilyzer® 8000C to detect the presence of volatile substances other than ethanol on the breath of a drinking driver.<p />",
