Optimised dispersion protocol for particle size measurement of copper oxides applied as feed additives and plant protection products

electron microscopy Feed Additive Nanoparticle plant protection product Abstract: The human population can be exposed to copper oxides used as plant protection products and feed additives. They are ...

Wastewater-based epidemiological surveillance- Yearly report- 2024

public health issues has recently exploded as countries assessed WBE for monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, researchers and public health institutes have been researching how WBE can be ...

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 ...

EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders, 2024

according to a coherent framework. To tackle this objective, the disease burden attributable to environmental stressors is estimated using comparative risk assessment (CRA). As this method determines the ...

Residential tree canopy configuration and mortality in 6 million Swiss adults: a longitudinal study.

with reduced mortality risks. We hypothesise that in addition to tree canopy cover, tree canopy configuration also plays a role in exposure-mortality relationships. As there is limited evidence on this ...

Assessing particle count in electron microscopy measurements of nanomaterials to support regulatory guidance

Upon combining the precision uncertainty related to particle numberwith uncertainties from other sources, such as sample preparation, calibration and trueness, wereach an optimal particle count above ...

Urban green space, human heat perception and sleep quality: A repeated cross-sectional study.

significant challenges to public health, as exposure to high temperatures is associated to heat stress, resulting in heat strain, sleep deprivation, and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. As the frequency ...

Associations of heat with diseases and specific symptoms in Flanders, Belgium: An 8-year retrospective study of general practitioner registration data.

conditional quasi-Poisson regression was used to account for the non-linear and delayed effect of temperature indicators (minimum, mean and maximum). We controlled for potential confounders such as particulate ...

Chemical Characterization of Feminine Intimate Products an Extractables & Leachables Investigation

and styrene as top chemicals for further investigation. Notably, leaching simulations showed that 65% (36 of 55) of the identified chemicals were not confirmed as leachables. The 19 leachable chemicals included ...

Bioaccumulation of organic and inorganic contaminants in biota: A long-term evaluation in the Belgian part of the North Sea
