Solvent inhalation and 'apparent' alcohol studies on the Lion Intoximeter 3000

Studies were carried out on two individuals who sprayed cars with paints under normal working conditions without the use of protective clothing or face masks. Measurements of 'apparent' breath alcohol levels were carried out on a Lion Intoximeter 3000 evidential breath analyser and showed no long-term post-spraying retention of solvents in the breath.
