Uses Of Breath Alcohol Screening Devices

Breath alcohol screeners are used in a wide variety of applications.  For 
example, law enforcement officials use breath alcohol screeners on 
the roadside to determine if a subject should be further tested on an 
evidential alcohol test (a test given to determine an exact blood alcohol 
concentration).  In addition, breath alcohol screeners are used in a wide 
range of professions and industries to screen for the presence of alcohol 
before an individual performs certain job functions.  Since the presence 
of alcohol in a person’s body can impair numerous activities of an 
individual, a simple breath alcohol screening device that can test for the 
presence of alcohol in a individual’s system can be of great value.
