Article Title: Measurements of methane and nitrous oxide in human breath and the development of UK scale emissions

Author Countries: UK

Funding: The analysis was funded by the UK NERC grant E/S003614/2 ‘Detection and Attribution of Regional greenhouse gas Emissions in the UK (DAREUK)’. We acknowledge contribution from UKSCAPE Programme, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council as National Capability (award number NE/R016429/1). The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.
