Journal of Breath Research™ is dedicated to all aspects of scientific research on breath. The traditional focus is on the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and aerosols in exhaled breath for the investigation of health status and the diagnosis of disease, exogenous exposures, metabolism and toxicology. The journal also treats the topic of breath odour/malodour (halitosis), as well as welcoming other breath-related topics.

Key areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

Volatile and non-volatile compounds in exhaled breath gas (and in other biofluids, e.g., urine, blood, sweat, in correlation with breath)
Breath biomarkers and the exposome
Standardization in breath sampling and analysis
Safety measures in breath collection and handling
Statistical and chemometric treatment of breath data
Breath analysis for infectious diseases
New and emerging technologies in the field
Methodological aspects of breath research, covering interlaboratory comparisons, validation, and measurement uncertainty
Physiological modelling of exhaled compounds
Application in clinical practice
Exhaled breath condensate and aerosols
Oral microbiome and malodour production
