Which government policies to create sustainable food systems have the potential to simultaneously address undernutrition, obesity and environmental sustainability?
triple-duty potential if they were deemed effective in tackling two or three of the primary outcomes of interest: (1) undernutrition, (2) obesity/ NCD s and (3) environmental degradation. RESULTS: The desk ...
Analyzing the airborne birch and grass pollen monitoring network in Belgium
quality and sufficient coverage. However, the performance varies with the applied time scale. At smaller time scales (e.g., days or hours), network configurations degrade faster compared to larger time ...
The search for the best airborne pollen monitoring locations
is of great importance, since at smaller time scales (days, hours) network configurations may degrade faster than on larger time steps (weeks, months, seasons). The footprint-based analysis shows that ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
(NP s), mainly originating by physico-chemical transformation processes, such as aging, degradation and fragmentation. Because of the ease in their detection, several studies have been conducted on ...
Environmental degradation and the increasing burden of allergic disease: The need to determine the impact of nitrogen pollution
Speybroeck, Niko; Nicolas Bruffaerts; Olivier Honnay; Schrijvers, Rik; Raf Aerts Source: Frontiers in Allergy, Volume 4 (2023) Keywords: Allergic disease Biodiversity loss Environmental degradation ...
Roll-out of the Global Burden of Animal Diseases programme
production of greenhouse gases, environmental degradation, emergence of zoonotic diseases, and antimicrobial resistance. Furthermore, excessive consumption of some livestock products is linked to risk of ...
Slurry photocatalytic membrane reactor technology for removal of pharmaceutical compounds from wastewater: Towards cytostatic drug elimination
to degrade cytostatic drugs is presented in this work as an emerging technology for wastewater treatment. Cytostatic drugs are pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) commonly used in cancer treatment. Such ...
Structural elucidation of a novel mechanism for the bacteriophage-based inhibition of the RNA degradosome.
Abstract: In all domains of life, the catalysed degradation of RNA facilitates rapid adaptation to changing environmental conditions, while destruction of foreign RNA is an important mechanism to prevent host ...
Biological control of the size and reactivity of catalytic Pd(0) produced by Shewanella oneidensis.
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, Volume 90, Issue 4 (2006) Keywords: Biodegradation, Environmental Biomass Catalysis Crystallization Environmental Pollutants Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Interactions Microbial ...
Distribution of the Mycobacterium community and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) among different size fractions of a long-term PAH-contaminated soil.
demonstrate that PAH-degrading mycobacteria are mainly associated with the PAH-enriched clay fraction of the examined PAH-contaminated soil and hence, that also in the environmental setting of ...
