Halimeter
text:
A Halimeter is an instrument for measurement of the level of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) in the mouth. Halimeter was introduced in the early 1990s as an adjunct method for determining halitosis levels, alongside human assessment of odor levels. The instrument measures parts per billion levels of hydrogen sulfide and, to a lesser extent, methyl mercaptan, two gases which were previously shown to be associated with bad breath using gas chromatograph by Dr. Joseph Tonzetich in the late 1960s.
