had detectable concentrations of AsT. The geometric mean urine concentrations for adolescents were 8.1 μg/L for AsT, 2.7 μg/L for AB, and 3.7 μg/L for TRA. Since fish or seafood are a major arsenic ...
The overweight epidemic increasingly hits children of lower educated parents in Belgium
children. Health promotion on nutrition and physical activity at school has the potential to reach children from all socioeconomic backgrounds, making it an important means of tackling health inequalities. ...
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 ...
Dietary exposure of Sorbates (E 200 – 202) and Benzoates (E 210 – 213) for the Belgian population
and frequencies. Mean exposure estimates ranged from 8 to 19% of the Allowed Daily Intakes (ADI s) (i.e. 11 and 5 mg/kg bw per day for SA and BA, respectively), and 95th percentile exposures ranged from ...
