SFB 564: F2.3 - Impact valuation of land allocation and rural finance policies (Project)

Despite significant progress, hunger eradication and poverty alleviation remain an enormous concern to the Vietnamese Government, especially in the Upland areas. Targeting micro-finance, agricultural technology, education, health, and safety net services to the poor are among the major instruments of Vietnam’s poverty reduction strategy. In the 1st phase, sub-project F2 analysed the factors that...

Quantification of the migration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from various consumer products at regular handling conditions (Project)

Recently, Stiftung Warentest detected high amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in consumer products like hammer grips. As yet no systematic studies have been performed on the issue of how much of the PAH content present in consumer products may leave the material and migrate off at regular handling conditions. There is also no estab-lished and accepted experimental model to address...

Development and evaluation of a method for the detection and quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in consumer products (Project)

Usually, the detection and determination of the amount of a compound (including also sensi-tising compounds) which is released by gas emission from a consumer product is a challenging task. In most cases the total content of the sensitising compound in the product is determined and, in combination with numerical models it is possible to calculate theoretical emissions. The measurement of the...

Mixtures of PAHs in consumer products – Toxicity in human keratinocytes (Project)

The aim of the project is to characterize the toxicity of potentially carcinogenic mixtures of PAHs in human keratinocytes. These compounds are used as plasticizers and soots in cer-tain consumer products. Study parameters are cytotoxicity, induction of cytochrom P450 enzymes and genotoxicity (Comet assay) of the PAH mixtures.

Sequestration of Veterinary Medicines in Soils (Project)

The results of the first research unit phase suggested that there is a residual fraction which controls the sequestration and thus the fate of SDZ and its OH metabolite in soil in the long-term run (>7 months). It has been hypothesized that this sequestration is controlled by diffusion and should thus be reversible, whereas N-Ac SDZ is not sequestered in significant amount due to its fast...
