4DEMON: Integrating 40 Years of Data on PCB and Metal Contamination in Marine Sediments of the Belgian Part of the North Sea
as the basis for a spatial division of the BPNS into five distinct areas with different contamination profiles. To minimize the risk of normalization errors for the metal data analyses, four ...
Association between urban environment and mental health in Brussels, Belgium
Abstract: Background: Mental health disorders appear as a growing problem in urban areas. While common mental health disorders are generally linked to demographic and socioeconomic factors, little is known ...
Exposure to green space and pollen allergy symptom severity: A case-crossover study in Belgium
μg/m3) [1.255 (1.007-1.565)] on the day of the severe allergy event and with the cumulative exposure of one and two days before. Exposure to grass cover (10% area fraction) [0.655 (0.446-0.960)], forest ...

Residing in urban areas with higher green space is associated with lower mortality risk: A census-based cohort study with ten years of follow-up
residing in the five largest urban areas in Belgium (n = 2,185,170 and mean follow-up time 9.4 years). Residential addresses were available at baseline. Exposure to green space was defined as 1) surrounding ...

areas. Combining chemical and biological approaches, allowed the detection of water ecotoxicity in testing organisms and the identification of possible contributors to the toxicity observed in these ...
Heat related mortality in the two largest Belgian urban areas: A time series analysis
different urban areas. Objectives The objective of this study is to assess the heat-mortality relationship in the two largest urban areas in Belgium, i.e. Antwerp and Brussels for the warm seasons from 2002 ...
Residential green space and medication sales for childhood asthma: A longitudinal ecological study in Belgium
garden, β = 0.07–0.09). There was no association between OAD medication sales and forest cover. Conclusions: Based on aggregated data, we found that living in close proximity to areas with high grass cover ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
heterogeneous region of Flanders, Belgium. We stratified our research area into dominantly rural and dominantly urban areas and developed distribution models for 13 tree genera for both strata as well as for the ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
identify the drivers and suitable methods for urban and rural tree diversity models in the heterogeneous region of Flanders, Belgium. We stratified our research area into dominantly rural and dominantly ...
