Childhood leukaemia near nuclear sites in Belgium, 2002–2008
increased leukaemia incidence rates were found in children aged 0-14 years living in the 0-5, 0-10 and the 0-15 km proximity areas. For this site, there was evidence for a gradient in leukaemia incidence with ...
Human biomonitoring of heavy metals in the vicinity of non-ferrous metal plants in Ath, Belgium.
a participation rate of 24 %. Blood lead levels were significantly higher in young children living in the central area (18.2 μg/l ; 95 % CI: 15.9-20.9) compared to the peripheral area (14.8 μg/l ; 95 % CI: ...

Cadmium exposure in the population: from health risks to strategies of prevention.
with mortality including age, gender, smoking and social economic status. Pooled hazard rates of two recent environmental population based cohort studies revealed that for each doubling of urinary Cd ...
Thyroid cancer incidence near nuclear sites in Belgium: An ecological study at small geographical level.
excess incidence of thyroid cancer among people living in the vicinity of the four nuclear sites at the smallest Belgian geographical level. Rate ratios were obtained from a Bayesian hierarchical model for ...
Childhood leukemia near nuclear sites in Belgium: An ecological study at small geographical level.
statistical sector level. RESULTS: Higher incidence rate ratios were found for children <15 years (7 cases, RR = 3.01, 95% CI: 1.43;6.35) and children <5 years (< 5 cases, RR = 3.62, 95% CI: 1.35;9.74) ...
