Gas-particle partitioning of SVOCs and the impact on human health
The goal is to investigate the adverse effects of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) under consideration of their physical state (gas versus particle phase) in a suitable in vitro exposure system at the air-liquid interface (ALI). Thus, a self-designed exposure system together with an aerosol production line was set up to investigate the toxicity of gas versus particle phases of a model substance (dibutyl phthalate). The project requires a strong collaboration between the Aerosol Physics and Aerosol Toxicology groups.
Project funded by the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV), Project FP 425.
Scientist involved: Stephanie Binder (PhD project)
Collaboration with the Aerosol Physics group: Dr. Narges Rastack and Dr. Martin Sklorz.
