Summary

This study aims to see if a simple, non-invasive breathing test can accurately measure the acidity (pH) in the airways, which is often abnormal in lung diseases. Researchers will compare results from this breath test with standard methods in 150 healthy volunteers and people with lung conditions. If successful, this could provide a safer, cheaper way to monitor lung health.
