Association between local airborne tree pollen composition and surrounding land cover across different spatial scales in Northern Belgium
passive samplers detected the same pollen taxa during the same time windows as the validated volumetric Burkard samplers. Using passive samplers, we were able to measure local airborne pollen ...
Residing in urban areas with higher green space is associated with lower mortality risk: A census-based cohort study with ten years of follow-up
residing in the five largest urban areas in Belgium (n = 2,185,170 and mean follow-up time 9.4 years). Residential addresses were available at baseline. Exposure to green space was defined as 1) surrounding ...

Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Pauline Hautekiet; Tim S. Nawrot; Bram G. Janssen; Dries S. Martens; Eva M De Clercq; Payam Dadvand; Michelle Plusquin; Bijnens, Esmée; Nelly D. Saenen Source: Environment International, Volume 1 ...
Heat related mortality in the two largest Belgian urban areas: A time series analysis
Abstract: Background Summer temperatures are expected to increase and heat waves will occur more frequently, be longer, and be more intense as a result of global warming. A growing body of evidence indicates ...
Use of Whole Genome Sequencing Data for a First in Silico Specificity Evaluation of the RT-qPCR Assays Used for SARS-CoV-2 Detection.
of future RT-qPCR tests, as well as verifying that the former methods are still capable of detecting circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. Health Topics: Effectiveness and safety of vaccines, medicines and ...
Environmental exposures and health behavior in association with mental health: a study design.
ideation, subjective health and depressive and anxiety disorders, demographics and health behavior such as smoking are derived from the BHIS. Urine and blood samples are collected to measure respectively the ...
Lineages Within the Trichophyton rubrum Complex.
confirm these taxa as four monophyletic species. Our results also suggest that strains formerly identified as T. kuryangei and T. megninii should be considered in future taxonomic studies. Health Topics: ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
heterogeneous region of Flanders, Belgium. We stratified our research area into dominantly rural and dominantly urban areas and developed distribution models for 13 tree genera for both strata as well as for the ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
urban areas and developed distribution models for 13 tree genera for both strata as well as for the area as a whole. Occurrence data were obtained from an open-access presence-only database of validated ...
Opinion: Airtightness for Decontamination by Fumigation of High-Containment Laboratories
decontamination of a room by fumigation, as seen in the laboratory with a lower level of airtightness, but other factors associated with the fumigation process might also be critical for ...
