The Vitotox and ToxTracker assays: a two-test combination for quick and reliable assessment of genotoxic hazards
Human human health INFORMATION IS Less Paper performance result results SENSITIVITY Test variety Vitotox Abstract: To ensure human health, it is essential to characterize the genotoxic potential of new ...
Genetic damage in humans exposed to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields.
vitro and in vivo investigations, there is no established causal relationship yet. However, human cytogenetic biomonitoring studies that were conducted in the past show predominantly positive results ...
Direct cost saving potential in medication costs due to a reduction in outdoor air pollution for the Brussels Capital Region.
pollutant concentrations allowed for a multi-sector approach. Annual savings were estimated for the scenario of a 10% reduction in each of the pollutants. RESULTS: Medication purchase was significantly ...
The Cytome Assay as a Tool to Investigate the Possible Association Between Exposure to Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Fields and an Increased Risk for Alzheimer's Disease.
indicating that fields above 50 μT may induce chromosome instabilities as those found in AD patients. It should be stressed yet that results from the few published experimental studies on ELF- MF and AD are ...
In silico tools and transcriptomics analyses in the mutagenicity assessment of cosmetic ingredients: a proof-of-principle on how to add weight to the evidence.
regulatory in vitro test battery is known to have a high sensitivity, which is at the expense of the specificity. The high number of false positive in vitro results leads to excessive in vivo follow-up ...
Scientific Opinion on the Risks for human health related to the presence of 3- and 2-monochloropropanediol (MCPD), and their fatty acid esters, and glycidyl fatty acid esters in food
4,900-51,000 across surveys and age groups at mean and P95 exposures, respectively. An exposure scenario for infants receiving formula only resulted in MoEs of 5,500 (mean) and 2,100 (P95). MoEs of 25,000 or ...
A molecular approach for the rapid, selective and sensitive detection of Exophiala jeanselmei in environmental samples: development and performance assessment of a real-time PCR assay
environmental samples. The results obtained by molecular analysis were compared with those of classical methods (i.e., culture and microscopic identification) used in routine analysis and were 100 % matching. ...
Human biomonitoring of heavy metals in the vicinity of non-ferrous metal plants in Ath, Belgium.
( = 106). We also studied subclinical health effects by quantifying retinol-binding protein and microalbuminuria, and by means of a Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. RESULTS: We obtained ...
