How does a breathalyzer measure blood alcohol level?

BAC (Blood alcohol Concentration) can be analysed by breath analysis from the alcohol breathing from the aveoli in the lungs because alcohol is absorbed in the blood stream and does not break down easily as it is volatile. 2100 ml of alveoli air contains 1 ml of alcohol. This ratio of 2100:1 determines the amount of alcohol through a breath analyser that was invented by Dr Robert Borkenstein for the Indiana State Police in 1954.

1. The breath analyser has vials through which alcohol breath passes through mixture of sulfuric acid,postassium dichromate(reddish -orange color),silver nitrate (catalyst) and water to react to chromiun sulphate (green) + potassium sulphate + acetic acid + water.The change in color due to reaction is analysed through a photocell that gives current output and shown in milliamp meter needle deflection.

2. The second type uses infrared (IR) spectrograph for the current to be fed in a microprocessor to determine the alcohol content in the breath.

What is the difference in alcohol content and alcohol proof?

The proof number is twice the percentage of the alcohol content measured by volume, Therefore '80 proof' is 40% alcohol by volume.
The measure of the percentage of alcohol in drinks is widely believed to have started in the 18th century, when alcohol and gunpowder would be mixed together, if the combination lit when a flame was applied, it would be considered to have 'proved' it was a strong alcohol. (This is where the term 'firewater' is believed to have come from.) Originally that was considered 100 proof and was actually 50% alcohol, but more sophisticated measures since then have established that this alcohol and gunpowder mix would ignite if there was at least 57% alcohol, not 50%.
