EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders, 2023
health outcomes. The risk factors that were prioritised are those related to air quality, environmental noise and extreme temperature. In terms of outcomes, priority was given to all-cause mortality, ...
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
(iii) assessment of any digestion or degradation of NC by the human microbiome. Eight NC samples belonging to the three NC types, plus a comparator in the micro-range, were selected as study materials and ...
Novel prediction models for genotoxicity based on biomarker genes in human HepaRG™ cells.
genotoxicity were developed based on an extended reference dataset of 38 chemicals including existing as well as newly generated gene expression data. Both unsupervised and supervised machine learning algorithms ...
Belgian Mosquitoes Are Competent for Japanese Encephalitis Virus and Readily Feed on Pigs, Suggesting a High Vectorial Capacity.
to seven-day-old F0-generation adult mosquitoes, emerged from field-collected larvae, were fed on a JEV genotype 3 Nakayama strain spiked blood meal. Blood-fed mosquitoes were subsequently incubated ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
conjunction with and compared to other research tools. The MC s prevalence data was then used to make a preliminary assessment of human exposure and associated public health risk. Initially, methodologies were ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
Safety microbiological contaminants shotgun metagenomics Abstract: Foodborne contaminations are a global burden on public health worldwide. For many years, and until recently, the microbial contaminants ...

Simultaneous Detection and Quantification of Aflatoxin M1, Eight Microcystin Congeners and Nodularin in Dairy Milk by LC-MS/MS
extracted with methanol 80%, followed by an SPE clean-up step before LC- MS / MS analysis. The LOQ was fixed at 1 µg/L for the nine cyanotoxins and 0.05 µg/L for AFM1. Recoveries were measured between 82.67% ...
Daily heart rate characteristics, allergy symptom severity and mood in adults with allergic rhinitis
a mobile health application during two pollen seasons of hazel, alder and birch trees. Heart rate characteristics were extracted from daytime heart rate measurements (Mio Alpha 2 wristwatch; 1 Hz; >6 ...
Sentinel-2 Satellite and Hysplit Model Show that Local Cereal Harvesting Substantially Contributes to Peak Alternaria Spore Concentrations
contribution of cereal harvesting to peak Alternaria spore concentrations. Daily Alternaria spores were collected using Hirst-type traps in 12 sites in Europe for the period 2016-2018. Hybrid Single-Particle ...
