Sustainable potato cyst nematodes management using resistant potato varieties (Project)
This projects aims at providing sustainable control options for one of the most destructive pests of potato: the potato cyst nematodes (Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis). The pest threatens potato production worldwide and is therefore of global relevance. Recently, the pest was detected in Kenya, the first report in East Africa. It is therefore of prime importance that expertise on potato...

SFB 564: E4.1 - Quality and food safety issues in markets for high-value products in Thailand and Vietnam (Project)
The production and marketing of high-value agricultural commodities – such as fruits, vegetables, and livestock products – has been an important source of cash income for small-scale farmers in the northern mountainous regions of Thailand and Vietnam. However, against the background of recent free trade agreements and market liberalization, there is increasing national and international...

SFB 564: F1.3 - Economic valuation of environmental improvements in Northern Thailand and Vietnam (Project)
In the second phase the empirical aim of subproject F1.2 in Thailand was to assess the social benefits arising from environmental improvements in the uplands of the Mae Sa water catchment in northern Thailand which might lead to a melioration of tap water quality for the downstream suburban population of Mae Rim. For this purpose the possibilities of using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM)...

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.

Uptake and cellular localization of nano particles in enterocytes (Project)
The use of nanoparticles as a carrier for bioactive substances in foods is an ongoing method to improve the bioavailability of the substances. To examine the cellular uptake of metal oxid nanoparticles in the intestine appropriate enterocytic cell cultures will be used. Important is a comparison of the different ways into the body. Furthermore, the intracellular localization of the NPs will be...
