Development of a method for the investigation of pollution and the effect of anti-pollution products

AntiPOL

Within the scope of the joint project, a reproducible and effective ESR measurement method for investigating the effects of air pollutants (pollution) and anti-pollution products is to be established for studies on excised skin and in vivo, which will allow the hazard potential of pollution in the skin to be estimated and the mode of action of protective products to be assessed. The final goal is to support the development of anti-pollution products adapted to different environmental exposures. In addition, prevention strategies are to be demonstrated, which are to be applied in particular for vulnerable persons (patients, persons with occupational exposure). The applicant is a consortium of an SME, Gematria-Test-Lab GmbH and a research institution, Skin Physiology, Department of Dermatology, Charité - Universitätsmedizin, Berlin, both of which have many years of experience in the field of radical measurement, the determination of oxidative stress in the skin and the testing of products. This project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE).
