Bioaccumulation of organic and inorganic contaminants in biota: A long-term evaluation in the Belgian part of the North Sea
weight, dry weight, grain size, and total organic carbon were measured and used to understand the difference between the observed bioaccumulation and the measured sediment concentrations. Health Topics: ...
Variability in Alternaria alternata spore characteristics under different culture conditions: implications for automatic detection using air flow cytometry
microscopically, and chemical analysis was conducted using micro-Raman spectroscopy to assess spore composition. Significant differences were observed in colony morphology and spore characteristics among culture ...
Assessment of receptor-mediated activity (AhR and ERα), mutagenicity, and teratogenicity of metal shredder wastes in Wallonia, Belgium.
chemical and biological techniques was used, to better reflect the risks to health and the environment. The samples investigated induced significant in vitro aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonistic ...
The International cookbook for wastewater practitioners- Vol. 1 SARS-CoV-2
information gained was used to help monitor, communicate, and manage the COVID-19 pandemic. Rapid and significant innovations in the field of WBS were realised in parallel in multiple jurisdictions globally. ...
Advancing automated identification of airborne fungal spores: Guidelines for cultivation and reference dataset creation
Plair RapidE+ and SwisensPoleno Jupiter. Proof-of-principle models using holography and fluorescence data were developed, achieving variable genus classification accuracy (0.43-0.95). The protocol ...
A validation methodology for size and shape measurement of nanoplastics by transmission electron microscopy
surface. Each series of 10 images is analyzed using the ParticleSizer software in ImageJ. The intermediate precision of the quantitative TEM measurement is evaluated using a top-down approach [4] combining ...
Characterization of functional nanoparticles applied in face masks by STEM-EDX
create textiles with enhanced fabric properties, a trend exemplified within the production of face masks since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. The use of silver (Ag) is advertised in several ...
What drives the long-term changes in airborne birch and grass pollen levels in Belgium?
birch pollen and ~15% to grass pollen. Future climate and land-use changes may exacerbate this issue by increasing the amount of allergenic pollen in the air and prolonging pollen seasons. This study aims ...
Analyzing the airborne birch and grass pollen monitoring network in Belgium
monitoring stations must be evaluated. Materials & Methods We explored the network quality (i) and coverage (ii) of the five current pollen monitoring stations in Belgium using the methodology developed ...
Estimating the Uncertainty in Airborne Birch Pollen Modelling
Methods The uncertainty in modelling airborne birch pollen levels near the surface using SILAM is quantified based on a Monte-Carlo error approach for the season of 2018 in Belgium using varying major model ...
