Selenium content of Belgian cultivated soils and its uptake by field crops and vegetables.
extractable sulphur (S) concentration. The Se concentrations in the soils were low (range 0.14-0.70 mg kg(-1) dw), but increasing soil Se concentrations were observed with increasing clay content. Stepwise ...
Mercury and cadmium levels in Belgian children and their mothers
mercury in hair and cadmium in urine were higher in mothers than in children. The cadmium levels were higher in the urban area in both mothers and their children, and boys had increased levels compared to ...
Field evaluation of willow under short rotation coppice for phytomanagement of metal-polluted agricultural soils.
Cd and Zn removal can be increased by 40% if leaves are harvested as well. Nevertheless, nowadays the wood price remains the most critical factor in order to implement SRC as an acceptable, ...

Mutagenicity, antimutagenicity and cytotoxicity evaluation of South African Podocarpus species
exhibited by petroleum ether extracts as compared to 80% ethanol extracts. When HepG2 cells were in contact with plant extracts in an increasing concentration, slopes of NRU decreased (highest-lowest %) ...
Short rotation coppice culture of willows and poplars as energy crops on metal contaminated agricultural soils.
phytoextraction, has been placed forward as an environmental friendly remediation technique, that can gradually reduce increased soil metal concentrations, in particular the bioavailable fractions. The aim of this ...
Determination of the volume-specific surface area by using transmission electron tomography for characterization and definition of nanomaterials.
of objects and their interpretation can be difficult. Recently, electron tomography (ET) is increasingly used to reveal the morphology of nanomaterials (NM) in 3D. In this study, we examined the ...
Cadmium exposure in the population: from health risks to strategies of prevention.
and mortality. Environmental exposure to Cd increases total mortality in a continuous fashion without evidence of a threshold, independently of kidney function and other classical factors associated ...
State-of-the-art lentiviral vectors for research use: risk assessment and biosafety recommendations.
functional considerations, including increased productivity and/or transduction efficiency. The design of safer vectors has also directly benefited researchers allowing them to conduct experimental studies ...
