Environmental assessment of ester-based lubricants after application

Abstract

For further investigations, the organic oil matrix and its influence on the toxicity have to be taken into account. The toxicity of the eluates may not only be due to metals; additional effects could arise from changes in the lubricant itself.

Acute embryo toxicity and teratogenicity of three potential biofuels also used as flavor or solvent

“…The preparation of WAFs was performed according to (Erlenkaemper et al, 2008) without a filtration step to avoid physical handling that possibly causes a loss of substances or chemical changes (Singer et al, 2000). A defined amount of gasoline, fossil diesel fuel or RME was given in 1 L amber glass bottles (Duran Group GmbH, Wertheim/Main, Germany) and purified water (Milli-Q water; Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA) was added to obtain oil loadings of 50 g/L, 12.5 g/L, 3 g/L and 1 g/L for gasoline, 100 g/L and 0.1 g/L for diesel and 100 g/L for RME.…”
