The purpose of this project is to develop a low-resistance breath condensate collection system that is able to handle the high ventilation rate of human exercise. The system must allow for simultaneous exhaled gas and condensate collection during exercise. Finally, it must be validated with corrections made for any dilution of the respiratory solutes in the expired condensate.
