Residential tree canopy configuration and mortality in 6 million Swiss adults: a longitudinal study.
implement in cities. Our study provided valuable insights into optimising forested greenspaces and highlighted future directions for the planning and management of urban forests towards healthy and ...
The International cookbook for wastewater practitioners- Vol. 1 SARS-CoV-2
new or extended WBS programmes targeting SARS-CoV-2; and secondly to provide a valuable record of what has been learned from the 2020- 2023 period to help inform WBS programmes to respond to future ...
What drives the long-term changes in airborne birch and grass pollen levels in Belgium?
birch pollen and ~15% to grass pollen. Future climate and land-use changes may exacerbate this issue by increasing the amount of allergenic pollen in the air and prolonging pollen seasons. This study aims ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
additional data on the MC s prevalence in the different products. Moreover, other exposure sources, like freshwater foods (fish), and other cyanotoxins should be included in the future to further develop their ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
laboratories in the future. The method was first tested on minced beef spiked with shiga toxin-producing E.coli (STEC) at very low level (5 CFU /25g). After enrichment for 16 or 24 hours in buffered peptone ...
Residential green space in association with the methylation status in a CpG site within the promoter region of the placental serotonin receptor HTR2A
maternal green space exposure. Future research is needed to understand better how these epigenetic changes are related to functional modifications in the placenta and the consequent implications for ...
Development, Validation and Application of a Targeted LC-MS Method for Quantification of Microcystins and Nodularin: Towards a Better Characterization of Drinking Water
[6,7]. Increasing the use of surface water could be necessary to meet the current and future water demand. However, the switch to surface water is accompanied by certain pitfalls, as mentioned by the ...
Mapping abundance distributions of allergenic tree species in urbanized landscapes: A nation-wide study for Belgium using forest inventory and citizen science data
variations of abundance distributions both within the urban fabric and along the urban–rural gradient. Species abundance modelling can offer a better understanding of the existing and potential future allergy ...
Deepening of In Silico Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 Detection RT-qPCR Assays in the Context of New Variants
future SARS-CoV-2 testing. Given the potential threat of the new variants, it is crucial to assess if they can still be correctly targeted by the primers and probes of the RT-qPCR assays. Our study ...
Use of Whole Genome Sequencing Data for a First in Silico Specificity Evaluation of the RT-qPCR Assays Used for SARS-CoV-2 Detection.
of future RT-qPCR tests, as well as verifying that the former methods are still capable of detecting circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. Health Topics: Effectiveness and safety of vaccines, medicines and ...
