Der Einsatz aktiver (Pumpprobennahme,
Schöpfprobennahme) und passiver (Diffusionsprobennahme)
Probennahmetechniken zur Gehaltsbestimmung von
LHKW sowie Ethen und Methan in Grundwasser wird aus
ordnungsbehördlicher Sicht hinsichtlich der Vergleichbarkeit
von Analysendaten untersucht. Am Beispiel einer Kontamination
mit Trichlorethen sowie 1,2-Dichlorethen und
Vinylchlorid kann deutlich gemacht werden, dass die Einsatzmöglichkeit
der passiven Probennahme durch unzureichende
Strömungsverhältnisse im Aquifer sowie biologische
Aktivität im Pegelrohr begrenzt ist. Der aktiven Probennahme
ist bei ungeklärten oder unzureichenden Strömungsverhältnissen
im Grundwasserleiter daher der Vorzug
zu geben. Das gaschromatographische Verfahren für Vinylchlorid
mittels Dampfraumtechnik wird um die Quantifizierung
von Methan und Ethen erweitert. Dabei werden für
die Bewertung von Altlasten relevante Bestimmungsgrenzen
von 0,1 µg/l (Vinylchlorid, Ethen) sowie 5 µg/l (Methan)
erreicht.
Aus der Validierung der Analysenmethode und den
Ergebnissen verschiedener Probennahmen werden Toleranzbereiche
für die Ergebnisse eines Grundwassermonitorings
abgeschätzt. Diese Streubreiten von Monitoring-
Ergebnissen sollten von Ingenieurbüros und zuständigen
Ordnungsbehörden bei der Bewertung der komplexen Abbauprozesse
eines LHKW-Grundwasserschadens beachtet
werden.
This article describes a simple and quick in silico method for the prediction of cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated hydroxylation of drug-like compounds. Testosterone and progesterone, two known substrates of CYP3A4, are used to test the method. Further, we apply the procedure to predict sites of hydroxylation of isomers of the flame retardant hexabromocyclododecane by CYP3A4. Within the method, the compound is rotated in the binding pocket of the cytochrome, so that each hydrogen under consideration is placed near the active centre. Afterwards, short molecular dynamics simulations are provided for each step of the rotation. All steps of the simulation are compared concerning the distances between the hydrogens and the active centre and the corresponding energies. The computational results correlate well with experimental results.
The interconversion of the stereoisomers contained in technical 1,2,5,6,9,10-hexabromocyclododecane, a major brominated flame retardant increasingly found in the environment and in biota, was investigated at elevated temperatures. The application of pure enantiomers of the three constituents α-, β-, and γ-HBCD enabled the unambiguous elucidation of the individual isomerisation reactions as well as the quantification of all respective rate constants. At 160 °C the rate constants range over two orders of magnitude from 1.50 × 10-3 to 1.88 × 10-5 mol(%) s-1. A preliminary mechanistic explanation for the differences of the rate constants which govern the composition of HBCD diastereomers at equilibrium is given.
Odor Perception by Dogs: Evaluating Two Training Approaches for Odor Learning of Sniffer Dogs
(2017)
In this study, a standardized experimental set-up with various combinations of herbs as odor sources was designed. Two training approaches for sniffer dogs were compared; first, Training with a pure reference odor, and second, training with a variety of odor mixtures with the target odor as a common denominator. The ability of the dogs to identify the target odor in a new context was tested. Six different herbs (basil, St. John’s wort, dandelion, marjoram, parsley, ribwort) were chosen to produce reference materials in various mixtures with (positive) and without (negative)chamomile as the target odor source. The dogs were trained to show 1 of 2 different behaviors, 1 for the positive, and 1 for the negative sample as a yes/no task. Tests were double blind with one sample presented at a time. In both training approaches, dogs were able to detect chamomile as the target odor in any presented mixture with an average sensitivity of 72% and a specificity of 84%. Dogs trained with odor mixture containing the target odor had more correct indications in the transfer task.
