2 Introduction» Assessment of potential risk to human health associated with environmental air» Fysico-chemical characterization» Limitations» Known chemicals» Number of measured chemicals» Mixture toxicity» Evaluation of air quality using effect-oriented measurements» Biological tests with specific mechanism of action» Genotoxicity, immunotoxicity, endocrine disruption,» Hazard identification» Relation to human health not clear 19/03/2012 2

3 Goal In order to better assess the potential risk to human health from environmental air quality, effect-oriented measurements will be performed simultaneously with human biomonitoring of the local population in the selected hotspot Genk-Zuid from the Flemish Centre of expertise on Environment and Health(Steunpunt Milieu en Gezondheid). Toxicological characterization of air in Genk-Zuid using effect-oriented measurements Estimate possible health risk Health effects in HBM 19/03/2012 3

4 Hot spot Genk-Zuid Flemish Center for Expertise on Environment and Health HBM : reference values for large number of pollutants Status of the general population Control group for selected hotspots : hot spots in Flanders Biomonitoring in a selected area January2010 -November 2010 : Genk-Zuid 19/03/2012 4

5 Hot spot Genk-Zuid Industrial zone» Industries: stainless steel, car production, chipboard, power station (coal, biomass)» High traffic density Environmental monitoring» heavy metals, PCB126, dioxin (dust, soil, vegetables) Population Health survey (questionnaires) (2007): Complaints: traffic, noise, air pollution, odour Health problems: airway problems, antidepressant medication 19/03/2012 5

6 Hot spot Genk-Zuid: HBM» Recruitment 200 adolescents» Selectionof biomarkers:» pollutants: basedin inventoryof industryandenvironmentalmonitoring (heavy metals, POPs, PAH, benzene, toluene) associated health effects» Genk-Zuid vs. Flemish reference group 19/03/2012 6

11 Selection of tests» Immune toxicity: cytokine (il-6 and il-8) induction in Beas-2B cells» Beas-2B human bronchial epithelial cell line» Pro-inflammatory cytokines» Il-6: activation immune response by stimulation of lymphocytes» Il-8: chemokine, attracks target cells (e.g., neutrophil granulocytes) to inflammation site» Reference compound: LPS (endotoxin)» Endotoxin test» component of the cell wall of gram negative bacteria» illicit a strong response in the immune system e.g. cytokine production» Present on particles» LAL-testkit 19/03/

12 Selection of tests» Endocrine disruption: MELN assay» Humane breast cancer MCF-7 cell line,» stable transfection with estrogen receptor (ERE-βGlob-Luc-SVNeo)» estrogen activities: luciferasesignal following receptor binding» Detection of agonist en antagonist activity» Reference compound: estrogen ER antagonists Xeno-estrogens agonists ERE Luciferasegene RNA Luciferase Light» Systemic toxicty: radical generating capacity» Biological damage 19/03/
