EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders, 2023
a summary measure that combines both mortality and morbidity. Given the extensive list of potential risk factor-health outcome pairs, a set of priorities was defined in terms of environmental stressors and ...
Effects of tree pollen on throughfall element fluxes in European forests
linear mixed-effects modelling (LME). TF was measured in 1990–2018 during the main pollen season (MPS, arbitrary two months) in 61 managed, mostly pure, even-aged Fagus, Quercus, Pinus, and Picea stands ...
EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders
a summary measure that combines both mortality and morbidity. Given the extensive list of potential stressor-health outcome pairs, a set of priorities was defined in terms of environmental stressors and ...
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% ...
Quality control and correction method for air temperature data from a citizen science weather station network in Leuven, Belgium
on these intra-urban weather patterns, dense high-quality atmospheric measurements are needed. Crowdsourced weather stations (CWS s) could be a promising solution to realise such monitoring networks in ...
Evaluation of the types, efficient use and health risks of application of silver-based biocides to provide antimicrobial properties to face masks applied during the Covid-19 crisis
biocides in face masks using electron microscopy and EDX, combined with total silver measurement using ICP- MS or ICP- OES demonstrated the presence of varying amounts and different types of silver-based ...
Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
PM2.5 and NO2 while for O3, the effect was lower. Conclusions These findings allow for targeted planning of public-health measures aiming to prevent the effects of extreme temperatures. Health Topics: ...
Higher buccal mtDNA content is associated with residential surrounding green in a panel study of primary school children
sensing derived map. Given the repeated measures design, we applied a mixed-effects model with school and subject as random effect while adjusting for a priori chosen fixed covariates. Results: mtDNAc was assessed ...
What triggers selective daily mobility among older adults? A study comparing trip and environmental characteristics between observed path and shortest path.
older adults (aged 67-94) living in urban and suburban areas of Luxembourg, was measured through detour percentage between their observed GPS-based paths and their shortest paths. Multilevel negative ...
Changes in physical activity by context and residential greenness among recent retirees: Longitudinal GPS and accelerometer study.
Place, Volume 73 (2021) Abstract: This study examined the changes in accelerometer-measured physical activity by GPS-measured contexts among Finnish retirees (n = 45 (537 measurement days)) participating ...
