EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders, 2023
risks. Environmental burden of disease (EBD) studies try to estimate the impact of environmental stressors in terms mortality or morbidity on a population level. Although environmental risks have been ...
Effects of tree pollen on throughfall element fluxes in European forests
which are part of the ICP Forests Level II network. The SPI n for the dominant tree genus was observed at 56 aerobiological monitoring stations in nearby cities. The net contribution of pollen was ...
EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders
Environmental burden of disease (EBD) studies try to estimate the impact of environmental stressors in terms of mortality or morbidity on a population level. Although environmental risks have been studied in ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
have always been analyzed and characterized after isolation. Since the advent of second generation sequencing, it has been possible to characterize the complete genome of these isolates to the SNP level ...

level, were specifically designed for this application and need to be assessed. Results: In this study, with different bacterial cocktail mixes, analyzed as pure or spiked in a synthetic fecal matrix, we ...
Quality control and correction method for air temperature data from a citizen science weather station network in Leuven, Belgium
station-specific temperature quality control (QC) and correction procedure. The procedure consists of three levels that remove implausible measurements while also correcting for inter-station (between-station) and ...
Validity of air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollution in Belgium
Clercq Source: European Journal of Public Health, Volume 30, Issue Supplement_5 (2020) Abstract: Background In environmental epidemiology, air pollution exposure is often estimated at the population level ...
Development, Validation and Application of a Targeted LC-MS Method for Quantification of Microcystins and Nodularin: Towards a Better Characterization of Drinking Water
well-functioning society. However, due to climate change and pollution, access to safe freshwater sources diminishes. Increasing salinization, increasing sea levels and the presence of organic and non-organic ...
Real-time monitoring shows substantial excess all-cause mortality during second wave of COVID-19 in Europe, October to December 2020
the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Europe in spring 2020, several countries experienced extraordinarily high levels of excess mortality. Europe is currently seeing another upsurge in ...
Variability in the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality by exposure assessment method and covariate adjustment: A census-based country-wide cohort study
with age as the underlying time scale and adjusted for various individual and area-level covariates. We further adjusted main models for two different area-levels following the European Nomenclature of ...
