The impact of ecosystem nitrogen enrichment on pollen allergy: a cross-sectional paired comparison study
following a standardised protocol. We analysed grassland pollen abundance, quantified pollen species composition via DNA sequencing, and assessed pollen allergenicity using basophil activation testing and ...
Residential tree canopy configuration and mortality in 6 million Swiss adults: a longitudinal study
tree canopy cover, PM10, air temperature, urbanisation level, age, sex, and area-based local socioeconomic position. Findings Our analyses included 6 215 073 individuals from the SNC between 2010 and ...
Residential tree canopy configuration and mortality in 6 million Swiss adults: a longitudinal study.
socioeconomic position. FINDINGS: Our analyses included 6 215 073 individuals from the SNC between 2010 and 2019. In the fully adjusted single-exposure models, we observed protective associations between natural-cause ...
Urban green space, human heat perception and sleep quality: A repeated cross-sectional study.
assessing perceived heat stress, sleep quality, and mental health. Using structural equation models, this study analysed the influence of both tree cover and grass and shrub cover on perceived heat stress and ...
Spatial configuration of green space matters: Associations between urban land cover and air temperature
day temperature, and diurnal temperature range were recorded during summer heat periods of 2022. Urban land cover data were collected at two buffer scales (50m and 250m) and analysed using composition ...
Development, validation, and application of a multimatrix UHPLC-MS/MS method for quantification of Datura-type alkaloids in food
commercial foods. Only 26% of the analysed food samples contained one or both TA s. The mean concentrations for atropine and scopolamine amounted to 21.9 and 6.5 µg kg, respectively, while the maximum ...
Potential impact fractions of body mass index reductions on the non-communicable disease burden in Belgium using G-computation

Archives of Public Health, Volume 81, Issue 1 (2023) Keywords: Brussels Mental health Non-response Urban Environment Abstract: Background This paper aims at analysing the impact of partial non-response in ...
Daily heart rate characteristics, allergy symptom severity and mood in adults with allergic rhinitis
intercept for individuals. Results: The analyses included 3800 participant-days. A one-point increase in symptom severity was associated with an increase in resting heart rate of 0.07 (0.02 to 0.13) beats per ...
Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
daily temperature, respectively, with the minimum mortality temperature. For cold, we cumulated the risk over lags of 0 to 28 days before death and 0 to 7 days for heat. We carried out stratified analyses ...
