Local approach to attributable disease burden: a case study on air pollution and mortality in Belgium
approach. In a sensitivity analysis, the difference between the global and local approach is compared to the impact of other methodological choices and sources of uncertainty. Results The local method ...
Method development for analysis of nanoplastics in drinking water and milk using transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
expanded measurement uncertainties for median size and shape measuments of pristine NP s ranged from 2.5 — 7.5 % and 3.0 — 8.9 %, respectively, setting a reliable baseline for further studies. As a next ...
Advancing regulatory dialogue: In silico models for improved vaccine biomanufacturing- an expert meeting report.
reduces uncertainty and therefore the risk of making poor decisions. Upstream models are further from the final product, and their role in the control strategy of the product will define their level of risk ...

Residential greenness and pollen exposure across gestational trimesters in relation to preschool wheezing: Results for the PIPO birth cohort
greenness in the 1st trimester, grass pollen in the 2nd trimester, and birch pollen in the 1st and 3rd trimester. Mediation analysis showed large uncertainty. Discussion: Surrounding greenness and pollen ...
COVID-19 mortality statistics: a comparative study of epidemiological surveillance data and death certificates in 2020 in Belgium
deaths in COD were identified in SURV. Reduced COVID-19 activity and diagnostic uncertainty resulted in lower agreement between databases. Variations in data quality were observed across epidemic waves, ...
