Research focus 8 Allergy research: Studies on functional effects of xenobiotic mixtures in consumer products - such as colours, preservatives, MNPs and pigments - on processes of human antigen recognition and in vitro immunotoxicity (Project)

Subproject I (S): Applicability of the hCLAT for testing of tattoo pigments The aim of the project is to investigate the applicability of the hCLAT (human cell line activation test) for testing pigments used in tattooing inks. In 2021, the BfR published a recommendation on the minimum requirements and test methods for tattoo pigments (BfR 2021). Here, the hCLAT is recommended for testing the...

Cyto- and immunotoxic effects of chemicals: molecular mechanisms (Project)

Risks to human health from the increasingly diverse contact with chemicals in consumer-related products or food contact materials must be determined. Examples include bisphenol A (BPA), which enters the body via food contact materials and food or via skin contact with plastics as well as liquids for e-cigarettes or polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), which are used in a wide variety of ways....

Expanding the scope and reaching regulatory acceptance of the impedance-based eye irritation test (Project)

The goal of the follow-up project lmAi-2 is to extend the applicability domain of the ImAI test method and to submit it to the OECD as a test guideline for the assessment of eye damaging substances. In order to extend the applicability domain, surfactants, detergents and poorly soluble substances in particular are to be tested, which have proved difficult in the methods available to date for...

Associations between internal exposure to perfluorinated substances (PFAS) and the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes in the EPIC-Potsdam study (Project)

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a complex group of man-made chemicals with unique water- and oil-repellent properties. They have been used for decades in the manufacture of numerous consumer products, such as non-stick cookware, breathable textiles and food packaging. Consumption of food and drinking water is the main route of human exposure. Based on the observed associations...
