Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
a diameter smaller 1 µm, called nanoplastics (NP s) that could be found in food matrices and environmental samples, by means of specific measurement techniques. Therefore, the aim of this work is to develop ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
environmental samples. This has a negative downstream effect on possible risk assessment studies that would establish the exposure and influence of the different cyanotoxins on public health, and on the final ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
based on the sequencing of all genetic material of the sample without isolation has become available some years ago, e.g. shotgun metagenomics. It allows to get a screenshot of every microbiological ...
Daily heart rate characteristics, allergy symptom severity and mood in adults with allergic rhinitis
acute, daily changing factors that could underlie these cardiac alterations. Aim: To estimate associations between daily heart rate characteristics (i.e. resting heart rate, autocorrelation and sample ...
Validity of self-reported data to assess the prevalence of overweight, hypertension and cholesterol
evidence-based prevention programs. In Belgium, this is assessed through self-reported (SR) data from the Belgian health interview surveys (BHIS) in a wide population sample or through objective measures from ...
