Investigation of the consumer exposure with residues of perfluorinated tensides (PFT) occurring in fresh-water fish (Project)

Due to their special characteristics perfluorinated tensides (PFT) are frequently used with different industrial and commercial applications and formulations such as coolants, tensides and polymers, as components in cleaning agents, pharmaceuticals, fire retardants, lubricants and insecticides. The PFT-carboxylates (e.g.: perfluoroctane acids (PFOA)) and PFT-sulfonates (e.g.: perfluoroctane...

Determination of the exposition of consumers with residues of malachite green and leucomalachite green from eels accounting for the background contamination in aquatic systems (Project)

Malachite green (MG) is a triphenylmethane dye used to color materials such as cotton, silk, leather, and paper. MG is also used as a veterinary drug applied as topical antiseptic or to treat parasites, fungal infections, and bacterial infections in fish and fish eggs. Other applications are uses as biological stain, gain medium, to detect latent blood in forensic medicine, as pH indicator...

Detection and analysis of hepatotoxic modes of action for the prediction of carcinogenic effects of chemicals in the subacute toxicity test (repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity study/ OECD TG 407) (Project)

Using a modified 28-day repeated-dose toxicity test based on OECD TG 407, rats were orally treated with different classes of hepatotoxic and carcinogenic model substances. A selection of 9 substances was established, which was grouped into categories genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogens plus hepatotoxic non-carcinogens. After 3, 7 and 28 days, liver tissue was subjected to histopathological...

Development of a computerized decision support system to prevent pea moth damage in field peas (Project)

The project aims to develop a computerized decision support system (DSS) which facilitates the prevention of pea moth damage at farm planning level, particularly in organic green peas. Four collaborative project partners (Uni-Kassel-FÖP, Gäa e.V., ZEPP Bad Kreuznach und LLFG) collect data sets from three distinct model regions concerning the dynamics of pea moth infestation in space and in time,...

Use of hepatic in vitro systems for detection of liver carcinogens by application of toxicogenomics (Project)

At present, toxicogenomics is mostly used in vivo in order to retrieve comprehensive information from short-tenn studies. If mechanistic data are available for risk assessment, long-term animal studies for prediction of carcinogenic effects of substances may not be required. Available information from toxicogenomic in vivo studies can be used to validate potential in vitro systems, which may be...
