Brief description of study

We will obtain and measure exhaled VOCS in subjects with CF. We hypothesize that exhaled VOCs will differ between baseline and  PEx in subjects with CF. 

Detailed description of study

1.1.1      To compare exhaled VOCs between subjects with CF experiencing  PEx and subjects with CF at baseline.
1.1.2      To collect and analyze exhaled VOCs from subjects with CF longitudinally during different states of pulmonary health, including throughout the course of PEx.
1.2          Secondary Objective
1.2.1      To establish normative ranges of exhaled VOCs in subjects with CF.
1.2.2      To establish within-subject variability in exhaled VOCs in subjects with CF.
