Sentinel-2 Satellite and Hysplit Model Show that Local Cereal Harvesting Substantially Contributes to Peak Alternaria Spore Concentrations
weather on peak spore concentrations. The results showed that the Sentinel-2 satellite detected agricultural areas that underwent intensive harvesting and this coincided with a rapid increase of Alternaria ...
Validity of self-reported data to assess the prevalence of overweight, hypertension and cholesterol
hypertension) and ICC was used to assess the agreement between SR and measured BMI. SR high cholesterol was compared to a measured total serum cholesterol >190 mg/dl. Results Risk factor prevalence based on SR ...
In Silico Methods for Chromosome Damage.
results for coumarin are presented in more detail as a case study. Overall, it can be concluded that although they are in general less developed than those for mutagenicity, in silico tools for chromosome ...
Acid digestion of nonwoven textiles for measuring their trace element content by ICP techniques
elastane-containing textiles resulting in a complete release of metallic contents in order to analyze their elemental contents by ICP techniques. Health Topics: Nanomaterialen Nanomatériaux Nanomaterials Service: ...
Validity of air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollution in Belgium
coefficient, analysis of variance and multivariable ordinal logistic regressions (OLR). Results A significant exposure-response relationship was observed between long term air pollution exposure and ...
Importance of anti-SARS-CoV-2 assay antigenic composition as revealed by the results of the Belgian external quality assessment (EQA) scheme.
divergent results in the Belgian SARS-CoV-2 serology external quality assessment scheme. Sample IS /17575 was serum originating from a 30 years old male patient. 124 diagnostic laboratories analysed this ...
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
Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS); NUTS-1 (n = 3), or NUTS-3 (n = 43). Results We found no consistent differences between both exposure methods. We observed most robust associations with lung cancer ...
Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
and black carbon) to identify more vulnerable population subgroups. Results Based on 307,859 deaths from natural causes, we found significant cold effect (OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.30–1.57) and heat effect ...
Air pollution in association with mental and self-rated health and the mediating effect of physical activity
(BC) were estimated at the participants’ residence by a high resolution spatiotemporal model. Multivariate logistic regressions were carried out taking into account a priori selected covariates. Results ...
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 ...
