Problems with Breathalyzer Results
Breathalyzer tests analyze an individual’s breath in order to determine their blood alcohol content (BAC). The results, however, are not an exact measurement of an individual’s BAC, but rather an approximation based on a formula which converts the alcohol content of breath into BAC. This can lead to a number of issues, including:
- Ambient temperature affecting results
- Physical variations between people
- Incorrect conversion formulas
- Inflated readings based on alcohol presence in mouth but not blood
These are just some of the many different problems associated with breathalyzer results.
