[Detalocohol test following the use of deodorants]

The oral deodorants of Czechoslovak production (Dezodor spray, For men spray Carlotherm, Fluora, Herbadent, Polana, Stoma, Viskadon) have been demonstrated to contain 45 to 73.5 vol. per cent of ethylalcohol. After using such oral deodorants the tubes for detecting ethyl-alcohol in exspired air react for periods approximately 5 minutes. Similar results were also obtained by analysing the exspired air by gas chromatography.
