Americans invented a temporary tattoo-breathalyzer

Found system for determining the amount of alcohol consumed with a tattoo.

So the system worked, it should include: e-Board length less than 1 cm, a radio and a transfer paper.

Naked Science describes the process of working of this mechanism thus: the sensor should be attached to the body using paper with electrodes. Active electrodes generate weak currents for five minutes.

The consequence is that the tattoo is covered with a gel layer, and is administered into the skin of pilocarpin is a drug needed to stimulate sweating. Sweat coming to the skin’s surface will be analyzed by the sensor to determine concentration of ethanol in it.

So far, the tattoo is suitable for use only once, according to Professor Patrick Mercier. However, he also said that scientists are working on extending the time of monitoring.
