EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders, 2024
where the EBD is determined ‘globally’ on the level of Flanders. Data on this aggregated level (Flanders) are relatively easy to obtain, which allows to complete the steps in the analysis more swiftly. ...
Variability in Alternaria alternata spore characteristics under different culture conditions: implications for automatic detection using air flow cytometry
monitors, because of their significant implications for public health and agriculture due to their role as airborne allergen and plant pathogen. These systems require high-quality reference data for training ...
The International cookbook for wastewater practitioners- Vol. 1 SARS-CoV-2
guidance; high-level tactical wastewater catchment sampling strategies; wastewater sampling techniques; transport and storage of samples; laboratory analysis; normalisation and standardisation; data analysis ...
Estimating the Uncertainty in Airborne Birch Pollen Modelling
input data and ECMWF ERA5 meteorological data. The relative Coefficient of Variation (CV %) is used as a measure for uncertainty. The studied key model input datasets that drive the birch pollen ...
Modelling grass pollen load in temperate and Mediterranean European areas based on source spatial distribution
contribution of the most abundant grass species and grassland habitats to airborne grass pollen at a local spatial scale using in situ phenological samplings and remote sensing data. This background allowed us ...
Impact of environmental nitrogen enrichment on birch pollen allergy
a gradient of environmental nitrogen based on nitrogen deposition map data (Eutrophication caused by atmospheric nitrogen deposition in Europe, European Environment Agency, EEA). Nitrogen deposition values ...
The search for the best airborne pollen monitoring locations
reference data. For evaluating the network coverage of the current five monitoring stations we perform a footprint-based analysis. Footprints relate directly to the fraction of air reaching the monitoring device. ...
A preliminary estimate of the environmental burden of disease associated with exposure to pyrethroid insecticides and ADHD in Europe based on human biomonitoring
1 (2024) Keywords: ADHD burden of disease pyrethroids Abstract: Human biomonitoring (HBM) data indicate that exposure to pyrethroids is widespread in Europe, with significantly higher exposure observed in ...
Exploring the multiple dimensions of perceived food access in the local food environment in Flanders: Perceptions of adults in socioeconomically disadvantaged situations
interviews (n = 16). Reflexive thematic analysis has been used to analyse our data through an access framework. Four overarching themes were constructed. The first two themes concern barriers to perceived food ...
Novel prediction models for genotoxicity based on biomarker genes in human HepaRG™ cells.
RNA-sequencing, was investigated. Overall, the RF and SVM models were complementary in their classification of chemicals for genotoxicity. To facilitate data analysis, an online application was developed, combining ...
