Project code: BfR-PRS-08-1322-359
Contract period: 01.04.2008 - 31.12.2008
Purpose of research: Applied research

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.
