A metallo-dielectric multilayer structure is proposed as a novel approach to the detection of hydrogen in the exhaled breath. Due to the bacterial overgrowth in the intestine, a spontaneous emission of H2 is increased in the human breath when lactose intolerance occurs. By monitoring the changes in the optical properties of a multilayer palladium-polymeric structure one is able to detect a patient’s disease and the level of lactose malabsorbtion
