Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the factors infuencing the levels of nitrites and nitrates in exhaled breath condensate. Wearing a nose clip during EBC collection has no influence on nitrite and nitrate concentrations.

Short-term repeatability was better for nitrite (%CVs25%), while those of nitrate achieved 49 and 88%, respectively.
