Scientific Opinion on the Risks for human health related to the presence of 3- and 2-monochloropropanediol (MCPD), and their fatty acid esters, and glycidyl fatty acid esters in food
treatment with glycidol increased the incidence of tumours in several tissues of rats and mice, likely via a genotoxic mode of action. The Panel selected aBMDL10 value for 3- MCPD of 0.077 mg/kg bw per day ...
Toxicity in lead salt spiked soils to plants, invertebrates and microbial processes: Unraveling effects of acidification, salt stress and ageing reactions.
increase of total soil Pb dose required to induce 10% inhibition. The toxicity of Pb in leached soils was intermediate between the other two treatments. The lowest detectable chronic thresholds (EC10) in ...
Analysis of the short-term effect of pollen and spore exposure on allergy medication sales
associated with an interquartile augmentation in pollen concentrations increased significantly for Betula, Carpinus and Gramineae. Associations existed but were less consistent across ages for Quercus, ...
Selenium content of Belgian cultivated soils and its uptake by field crops and vegetables.
extractable sulphur (S) concentration. The Se concentrations in the soils were low (range 0.14-0.70 mg kg(-1) dw), but increasing soil Se concentrations were observed with increasing clay content. Stepwise ...
Mercury and cadmium levels in Belgian children and their mothers
mercury in hair and cadmium in urine were higher in mothers than in children. The cadmium levels were higher in the urban area in both mothers and their children, and boys had increased levels compared to ...
Field evaluation of willow under short rotation coppice for phytomanagement of metal-polluted agricultural soils.
Cd and Zn removal can be increased by 40% if leaves are harvested as well. Nevertheless, nowadays the wood price remains the most critical factor in order to implement SRC as an acceptable, ...

Mutagenicity, antimutagenicity and cytotoxicity evaluation of South African Podocarpus species
exhibited by petroleum ether extracts as compared to 80% ethanol extracts. When HepG2 cells were in contact with plant extracts in an increasing concentration, slopes of NRU decreased (highest-lowest %) ...
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 ...
