Overview of air quality measures aiming to reduce emissions from road traffic and mitigate health impact in Belgium
existing air quality measures implemented at regional, federal, and European levels, including legislative measures, strategic action plans, campaigns, and citizen-driven initiatives • An examination of the ...
Advancing automated identification of airborne fungal spores: Guidelines for cultivation and reference dataset creation
monitoring. While manual methods exist, interest is shifting towards automated systems employing machine learning. However, challenges persist due to diverse particle properties and limited training data. This ...
Analyzing the airborne birch and grass pollen monitoring network in Belgium
of monitoring stations for birch pollen is good, although large differences exist across the 2013–2021 seasons, likely due to significant inter-seasonal variations in birch pollen production. For grass ...
First European pollen reanalysis for allergenic trees
tendencies. The existing studies on pollen trends are usually limited to the individual station or specific regions. In the present reanalysis the symbiosis of in-situ measurements and modern modelling tools ...
Towards a more effective REACH legislation in protecting human health.
market access can be optimized. Additionally, no guidance documents exist for regulation of mixture effects. Further, the lengthiness before regulatory action is a big concern. Decision-making often takes ...
A systematic review and meta-analysis of human population studies on the association between exposure to toxic environmental chemicals and left ventricular dysfunction (LVD).
[-0.033 (-0.051, -0.016)]. CONCLUSIONS: Existing evidence shows that specific early markers of HF may be associated with exposure to chemical pollutants. It is recommended to include such endpoints in new ...
Please don't throw me in the briar patch! Empirical evidence on the role of instructional cues on eco-label usage in fish consumption decisions
with the imminent prospect of a harmonized European labelling framework. The existing literature, although limited and divergent, advocates for real-life testing with fresh, perishable food products, ...
