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 ...
A dynamic model to calculate cadmium concentrations in bovine tissues from basic soil characteristics.
exposure model is an animal-specific average daily Cd intake, which is then taken forward to a kinetic uptake model in which time-dependent Cd concentrations in bovine tissues are calculated. The chain model ...
Determination of the volume-specific surface area by using transmission electron tomography for characterization and definition of nanomaterials.
electron microscopy (TEM) remains an important technique to investigate the size, shape and surface characteristics of particles at the nanometer scale. Resulting micrographs are two dimensional projections ...
Concomitant microbial generation of palladium nanoparticles and hydrogen to immobilize chromate.
Oxidation-Reduction Palladium Abstract: The catalytic properties of various metal nanoparticles have led to their use in environmental remediation. Our aim is to develop and apply an efficient bioremediation method ...
Cadmium exposure in the population: from health risks to strategies of prevention.
The latter might especially be relevant in groups with a lower intake of iron, such as vegetarians, and women in reproductive phase of life. In exposed populations, house dust loaded with Cd is an ...
State-of-the-art lentiviral vectors for research use: risk assessment and biosafety recommendations.
the inadvertent transduction of cells of the investigator gain greater importance in assessing the overall risk of these vectors and become an important biosafety concern. This review outlines the ...
Physical characteristics of the back are not predictive of low back pain in healthy workers: a prospective study.

An objective method for the evaluation of eye irritation in vivo.
determined using an objective technique, and the reading of other symptoms was investigated. The in vivo eye irritation assay was carried out on 34 substances according to the protocol laid down in Annex V, ...
The enucleated eye test: A comparison of the use of ultrasonic and optic pachometers.
results for corneal swelling, reported by Burton et al. (1981) and obtained using an optic pachometer, were compared with those obtained using an ultrasonic pachometer to test the same 11 substances. The ...
Biodiversity and human health: mechanisms and evidence of the positive health effects of diversity in nature and green spaces.
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Raf Aerts; Olivier Honnay; An Van Nieuwenhuyse Source: Br Med Bull, Volume 127, Issue 1 (2018) Abstract: Introduction: Natural ...
