EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders, 2023
a summary measure that combines both mortality and morbidity. Given the extensive list of potential risk factor-health outcome pairs, a set of priorities was defined in terms of environmental stressors and ...
Effects of tree pollen on throughfall element fluxes in European forests
linear mixed-effects modelling (LME). TF was measured in 1990–2018 during the main pollen season (MPS, arbitrary two months) in 61 managed, mostly pure, even-aged Fagus, Quercus, Pinus, and Picea stands ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
a diameter smaller 1 µm, called nanoplastics (NP s) that could be found in food matrices and environmental samples, by means of specific measurement techniques. Therefore, the aim of this work is to develop ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
risk management through concrete policy measures. This doctoral dissertation discusses the development and validation of fit-for-purpose analytical methodologies to quantify the most prevalent cyanotoxin ...
Simultaneous Detection and Quantification of Aflatoxin M1, Eight Microcystin Congeners and Nodularin in Dairy Milk by LC-MS/MS
extracted with methanol 80%, followed by an SPE clean-up step before LC- MS / MS analysis. The LOQ was fixed at 1 µg/L for the nine cyanotoxins and 0.05 µg/L for AFM1. Recoveries were measured between 82.67% ...
Daily heart rate characteristics, allergy symptom severity and mood in adults with allergic rhinitis
a mobile health application during two pollen seasons of hazel, alder and birch trees. Heart rate characteristics were extracted from daytime heart rate measurements (Mio Alpha 2 wristwatch; 1 Hz; >6 ...
Quality control and correction method for air temperature data from a citizen science weather station network in Leuven, Belgium
on these intra-urban weather patterns, dense high-quality atmospheric measurements are needed. Crowdsourced weather stations (CWS s) could be a promising solution to realise such monitoring networks in ...
Validity of self-reported data to assess the prevalence of overweight, hypertension and cholesterol
evidence-based prevention programs. In Belgium, this is assessed through self-reported (SR) data from the Belgian health interview surveys (BHIS) in a wide population sample or through objective measures from ...
Evaluation of the types, efficient use and health risks of application of silver-based biocides to provide antimicrobial properties to face masks applied during the Covid-19 crisis
biocides in face masks using electron microscopy and EDX, combined with total silver measurement using ICP- MS or ICP- OES demonstrated the presence of varying amounts and different types of silver-based ...
Acid digestion of nonwoven textiles for measuring their trace element content by ICP techniques
Publication Type: Non-peer reviewed scientific publication Authors: Gabriel Mercier; Karlien Cheyns; Regis Nkanda; Ronny Machiels; Ann Dewinne; Nadia Waegeneers; Jan Mast; Daniela Montalvo Source: Protocol exchange (2022) Keywords: Acid digestion Face mas ...
