Effects of tree pollen on throughfall element fluxes in European forests
can lead to misinterpretations of element deposition in European forests. We investigated the relationship between forest throughfall (TF) element fluxes and the Seasonal Pollen Integral (SPI n) using ...
Pollutant exposure and myocardial injury: Protocol and progress report for a toxicological systematic mapping review.
result in CVD are not fully understood. To comprehensively describe and understand the pathways through which pollutant exposure leads to cardiotoxicity, a systematic mapping review of the available ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
submitted to a thorough physicochemical characterisation. A battery of in vitro tests was used to provide insight into NC hazard and mode of action according to a tiered approach, which lead to selection of ...
Validity of self-reported data to assess the prevalence of overweight, hypertension and cholesterol
small-scale surveys (such as the Belgian health examination survey [BHES]). It has been shown, however, that relying on SR data leads to a prevalence underestimation. The objective of this study is to assess ...
Development, Validation and Application of a Targeted LC-MS Method for Quantification of Microcystins and Nodularin: Towards a Better Characterization of Drinking Water
meteorological factors and their prediction is still under study [9,10,11,12]. The presence of these blooms can have a detrimental effect on the water quality by producing compounds that lead to foul tastes and ...

Slurry photocatalytic membrane reactor technology for removal of pharmaceutical compounds from wastewater: Towards cytostatic drug elimination
ambulant patients leading to diluted concentration in the municipal waste. Therefore safe strategies should be developed in order to collect and degrade the micro-pollutants using appropriate treatment ...
In silico tools and transcriptomics analyses in the mutagenicity assessment of cosmetic ingredients: a proof-of-principle on how to add weight to the evidence.
regulatory in vitro test battery is known to have a high sensitivity, which is at the expense of the specificity. The high number of false positive in vitro results leads to excessive in vivo follow-up ...
Human biomonitoring of heavy metals in the vicinity of non-ferrous metal plants in Ath, Belgium.
did a random sampling in the general population of Ath in two areas: a central area, including the plants, and a peripheral area, presumably less exposed. We quantified cadmium, lead, nickel, chromium ...
Toxicity in lead salt spiked soils to plants, invertebrates and microbial processes: Unraveling effects of acidification, salt stress and ageing reactions.
Animals Environmental Monitoring Invertebrates Lead Plants Salts Soil Soil Microbiology Soil Pollutants Trace Elements Abstract: The fate and effects of toxic trace metals in soil freshly spiked soluble ...
