Monitoring agro-ecosystems of sub-Saharan Africa: Pesticides and land use as stressors for plants, bees and pollination interactions (Project)
During the initiation of collaboration our objectives are to 1. Understand the working conditions of our project partners in Africa 2. Provide our African project partners with the needed skills to conduct long-term pollinator monitoring and research as well as residue sampling 3. Assess what methods are feasible for the agricultural landscapes we encounter 4. Establish good working relationships...

Circular nutrients for a sustainable Baltic Sea Region (Project)
CiNURGi’s main objective is to encourage the creation and development of a circular economy for nutrient recycling (NR) in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR), with emphasis on enhancing current infrastructures and technologies to maximize NR from biomasses and resource streams coming from agriculture, municipalities, and industry. The development of a circular economy around NR in the BSR will decrease...

Identification of future breeding potential for more climate protection in plant production - assessment of the contribution of breeding progress to reducing the CO2 footprint (Project)
Based on extensive variety trial data, the contribution of breeding progress to climate protection for the most relevant crops in Germany is evaluated using life cycle analysis (LCA) and statistical methods. Relevant plant characteristics for climate protection are identified and future breeding potential for more climate protection in plant production is shown. The project builds on the...

Potential influence of methylisothiazolinone on processes of antigen presentation and inflammation (Project)
According to the current understanding of human contact allergy (type IV), chemicals such as MI (=MIT, methylisothiazolinone) or MI/MCI (MI/methylchloroisothiazolinone) - which are also frequently used as preservatives in cosmetics - bind as haptens to proteins (self-proteins) or peptides and form so-called T-cell epitopes, which can trigger an MI allergy. These are not known for MI. At the same...

Individual allergy diagnostics for putative pigment allergy within tattoos (Project)
About one third of non-infectious intolerance reactions to tattoo ink have an allergic pathogenesis. Up to now, no commercially available test allergens are available for the identification of skin-sensitizing pigments by patch testing.The proposed project will make tattoo pigments in small quantities available to treating physicians in the IVDK network for the preparation of test allergens...

Development of analytical methods for the characterization of the emissions of volatile and semi-volatile substances from consumer products (Project)
People living in industrialized nations spend the majority of their time in indoor environments, thus the quality of indoor air plays an increasing important role for the human health. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one group of substances, which pollute the indoor air. They can be emitted from construction products, furnishing and other consumer products, such as toys, clothing and...

Development of qualitative, quantitatve and imaging analytical methods for the analysis of tattoo inks, pigments, particles, fibres and consumer products (research focus 3, department 7) (Project)
Different topics relevant to the BfR in the field of non-food-products require the use of specialized test procedures or the development of analytical methods to accurately describe materials and consumer products. Such newly developed methods can be relevant in the context market surveillance, hazard and risk assessment or research in many areas. This includes the investigation, identification...

Kinetics of short-chain and alternative PFAS in humans (Project)
The ubiquitous contamination of the environment and food chain with per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) has led to internal human exposure, which can be detected in everyone's blood. The focus here is on the so-called long-chain compounds (C8 and more for carboxylic acids, C6 and more for sulfonic acids) because they have extremely long half-lives in humans, in the range of years....

Development of novel application methods and evaluation strategies for the genotoxic and phototoxic assessment of tattoo pigments and poorly soluble substances in in vitro assays (Project)
A number of substance classes exhibit extremely low solubility in aqueous media due to molecule-specific properties and predominantly occur in micro- and nanoparticulate forms. Due to their strong tendency to aggregate, the interaction of these substances with the biochemical cellular apparatus is significantly reduced when considering their chemical single-molecule characteristics. However,...

Comparative investigations of different in vitro methods for the applicability to the detection of the sensitizing potential of pigment particles and tattoo ink allergens (Project)
The BfR has been active in the field of allergy and tattoo ink research since 2012 to better understand the hazard potential of this intradermal color application and to provide a better basis for risk assessment. In this project, testing of tattoo-relevant substances and color particles will be performed using validated OECD methods and the in-house developed AIM T cell assay to test for...
