Along with the increased usage, concerns about negative effects of flame retardants on human health and the environment have been raised. Concerning construction products one application for flame retardants is the furnishing of steel structures with reactive flameproof coatings. These coatings consist of a complex mixture of different chemicals, additives and solvents. For the evaluation of the risk possibly posed by their application to the environment, this whole mixture should be tested. Two different leaching tests were applied according to DIN/TS 16637-2 (sample permantly submerged in water) and DIN EN 16105 (immersion and drying cycles), respectively, which can be used for plate-like products. Eluates were divided into subsamples for the measurement of different parameters: pH-value, conductivity, total organic carbon (TOC), cation and anion concentration. For screening of organic compounds, aqueous samples were liquid/liquid extracted using three solvents with different polarity (toluene, hexane and ethylacetate). GC-MS chromatograms were recorded in the SCAN mode and mass spectra of the peaks were compared with spectras stored in the NIST library. Eluates of leaching test accroding to DIN CEN TS 16637-2 showed low electrical conductivity (20 to 150 µS/cm) and low release of cation and anions often near the LOQ. Diffferences could be observed for plates treated with the reactive coating at both sides and plates coated only at one side, while the other side is only furnished by the corrosive protection layer. Release of TOC and Zn was approx twice or 10 fold higher in the case of plates coated on one side. Furthermore, the comparison of the results for both types of plates showed that a large portion of the released compounds originate rather from the corrosion protection layer than from the reactive coating itself. Leaching tests according to DIN EN 16105 have not been finished yet, but first results show that the conductivity is much lower (1-4 µS/cm) than for the tests according to DIN/TS 16637-2 leading to the assumption that the release of compounds is lower. By comparison of the mass spectra with library data, mainly organic solvents as xylene, 1-methoxy-2-propanol acetate and n-btuyl carbamate have been tentatively identified so far in the first test fraction done by DIN CEN TS 16637-2.

Dieses Hapten wurde an Trägerproteinen gekoppelt. Diese wurden für Immunisierungen und als Coatingantigene existierender Antikörper eingesetzt. Die Coatingantigene bewirkten eine Verbesserung etablierter indirekter ELISA mit kommerziell verfügbaren Antikörpern. Positive Immunantworten auf Diclofenac in der Immunisierung wurden bereits nachgewiesen. N2 - Diclofenac is a widely used drug against fever, inflammation, pain, and rheumatic diseases. An average of 70 % of the ingested diclofenac is excreted in the urine. Thus, 63 tons are introduced into the water cycle in Germany. Due to insufficient removal of diclofenac in wastewater treatment plants, residues of diclofenac can be found in surface water and sometimes in drinking water It exist a polyclonal against diclofenac and monoclonal antibodies against diclofenac and it`s metabolites. There all based on direct couling of diclofenac on proteins via carboxylic functions. However it was imagined advantageous to introduce a heterobifunctional spacer between the analyte and the carrier protein. Aceclofeac is commercial available. All other spacers can only be introduced with solid phase synthesis.

SABs, which are the principal causes of weathering on exposed terrestrial surfaces, are characterized by patchy growth dominated by associations of algae, cyanobacteria, fungi and heterotrophic bacteria. A recently developed in vitro system to study colonization of rocks exposed to air included two key SAB participants - the rock-inhabiting ascomycete Knufia petricola (CBS 123872) and the phototrophic cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme ATCC29133. Both partners are genetically tractable and we used them here to study weathering of granite, K-feldspar and plagioclase. Small fragments of the various rocks or minerals (1–6 mm) were packed into flow-through columns and incubated with 0.1% glucose and 10 μM thiamine-hydrochloride (90 μL min−1) to compare weathering with and without biofilms. Dissolution of the minerals was followed by: (i) analysing the degradation products in the effluent from the columns via Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy and (ii) by studying polished sections of the incubated mineral fragments/grains using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analyses. K. petricola/N. punctiforme stimulated release of Ca, Na, Mg and Mn. Analyses of the polished sections confirmed depletion of Ca, Na and K near the surface of the fragments. The abrupt decrease in Ca concentration observed in peripheral areas of plagioclase fragments favored a dissolution-reprecipitation mechanism. Percolation columns in combination with a model biofilm can thus be used to study weathering in closed systems. Columns can easily be filled with different minerals and biofilms, the effluent as well as grains can be collected after long-term exposure under axenic conditions and easily analyzed.

A1 - Rurack, Knut T1 - Integration of microspheres coated with fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymers with a fiber optic array for the detection of antibiotics N2 - The widespread use of antibiotics in livestock farming leads to trace residues in food products and wastewater, potentially entailing antimicrobial resistance in food-borne pathogens. The determination of antibiotics in aqueous environments and foodstuff is thus of major concern. Analytical assays based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have emerged as a valuable tool in this field due to the low production costs, stability, format adaptability and the possibility to imprint and thus their ability to recognize a wide variety of target analytes. With regard to optical sensing technologies, however, MIPs have only been used in considerably few applications, especially in fluorescence sensors. This limitation is basically due to the fact that the incorporation of a fluorescently responding moiety into a polymer matrix is challenging. One way to overcome this limitation is to use tailor-made fluorescent indicator monomers for direct transfer of the binding event into an optical signal. If such a monomer is integrated into a thin MIP-shell on microspheres such core/shell particles can be readily used in advanced multiplexing sensory fiber-optic microarrays. Here, we propose such a fiber-optic microarray based on fluorescent MIP microspheres for antibiotics. The binding behavior and the selectivity of a microarray using these MIP were examined and compared with a non-imprinted polymer (NIP) control, employing the target molecules and other structurally closely related antibiotics.

Surface-bound biofilm growth is associated with substantial secretion of metabolic products that can significantly influence material corrosion. Here, a group of material-inhabiting fungi are presented, which colonize and weather air-exposed materials such as building façades, roofs and solar systems. A selected model fungus is used to carry out genetic and molecular biology experiments, which are microbiologically cutting-edge and allow for the development of novel time-saving techniques for material testing. The degree of material damage under the influence of this model fungus shows a measure of the aggressiveness of the biofilm under defined environmental conditions - and thus explores fundamental components of the interaction between material and biofilm.

A content of about 5-12 m tones of plastic products is estimated to attain to the environment. There, they are exposed to environmental aging conditions like UV light, abrasion, water, oxidation etc. and degrade to small particles. If the particles reach a dimension < 5 mm they are called microplastic. Today microplastic is almost ubiquitary and was found in the aquatic as well as in the terrestrial environment. The main representatives are polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene terephthalat (PET). Analyzing microplastics in environmental samples turned out to be very challenging, due to the fact that there are only a few synthetic particles beside a huge number of natural. Furthermore, the different polymers particles vary in their shape, their density and their chemical characteristics. Until now, there is no standard procedure for sampling, concentration and analyzing. We developed a thermal decomposition method for analyzing micro plastics in environmental samples. The method is a combination of a thermal extraction on solid-phase adsorption agents with a subsequent analysis of the decomposition products by thermal desorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry. In contrast to more established methods, such as IR or Ramen spectroscopy, our method enables measurements within few hours and gives an integration result of polymer specific decomposition products. Therefore, it is possible to identify and to quantify polymers in environmental matrices. The use of the method is demonstrated for various polymers (PE, PP, PS, PET) in spiked and first time also in real environmental samples.

The combination of the obtained patterns of pollen mass spectra (MADLI-TOF MS (Autoflex III, Bruker)) and multivariate statistics provide a powerful tool for the investigation of structural correlations within pollen grain mixtures. Both commercially available lyophilized pollen (Sigma, Germany) and fresh pollen acquired from biological samples collected in parks and in the Botanic Garden Berlin-Dahlem, were utilized. The samples were extracted based on a modified biotyper protocol (Bruker) by formic acid extraction in the gas phase and spotted with HCCA matrix.
