EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders, 2023
according to a coherent framework. To tackle this objective, the disease burden attributable to environmental stressors is estimated using comparative risk assessment (CRA). As this method determines the ...
Effects of tree pollen on throughfall element fluxes in European forests
can lead to misinterpretations of element deposition in European forests. We investigated the relationship between forest throughfall (TF) element fluxes and the Seasonal Pollen Integral (SPI n) using ...
Pollutant exposure and myocardial injury: Protocol and progress report for a toxicological systematic mapping review.
toxicological evidence is needed. This protocol outlines a step-by-step framework for conducting this review. Using the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Health Assessment and Translation (HAT) approach for ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
of convenient food or usage of single-use items. As a direct consequence, the production of plastics is globally increasing, as well as their release into the environment, threatening wildlife and ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
submitted to a thorough physicochemical characterisation. A battery of in vitro tests was used to provide insight into NC hazard and mode of action according to a tiered approach, which lead to selection of ...
Oncolytic Viruses: An Inventory of Shedding Data from Clinical Trials and Elements for the Environmental Risk Assessment.
assessment of subject safety, quality and efficacy aspects of medicinal products for human use, genetically modified viruses are also governed by EU regulatory frameworks requiring an environmental risk ...
Novel prediction models for genotoxicity based on biomarker genes in human HepaRG™ cells.
were used, but as unsupervised machine learning did not clearly distinguish between groups, the performance of two supervised machine learning algorithms, i.e., support vector machine (SVM) and random ...
Belgian Mosquitoes Are Competent for Japanese Encephalitis Virus and Readily Feed on Pigs, Suggesting a High Vectorial Capacity.
flavivirus which uses pigs as amplification hosts, we investigated (1) whether would feed on pigs and (2) its vector competence for JEV, to investigate whether this species could be a potential vector. Three- ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
conjunction with and compared to other research tools. The MC s prevalence data was then used to make a preliminary assessment of human exposure and associated public health risk. Initially, methodologies were ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
water, the DNA was extracted with two classical commercial kits or with a kit performing depletion of the host DNA. The extracted DNA also was amplified or not using Phi29 polymerase. We showed that all ...
