What drives the long-term changes in airborne birch and grass pollen levels in Belgium?
to disentangle the effects of changing meteorology and vegetation dynamics on long-term trends of birch and grass pollen levels near the surface in Belgium. Materials & Methods The pollen ...
First European pollen reanalysis for allergenic trees
long-term assessment of pollen abundance in the air is therefore useful for epidemiological studies, to track the biodiversity and ecosystem evolution, and may also help to estimate the species migration ...
Modelling grass pollen load in temperate and Mediterranean European areas based on source spatial distribution
the major airborne pollen contribution of grasses at a large spatial scale. Our findings are the basis for comprehensively study the factors involved in the long-term pollen trends of grasses by ...
Spatial configuration of green space matters: Associations between urban land cover and air temperature
urbanization have exacerbated urban heat island issues in cities, affecting the liveability and long-term health and well-being of its citizens. This study explores how landscape composition and configuration ...
Validity of air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollution in Belgium
individual long term exposure to air pollution. Main messages Significant exposure-response relationship between individual long-term air pollution exposure and self-reported air pollution annoyance Limited ...
Variability in the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality by exposure assessment method and covariate adjustment: A census-based country-wide cohort study
model using hybrid LUR exposure were 1.023 (95% CI 1.011-1.035). After including random effects HR s were 1.044 (95% CI 1.033-1.057) [NUTS-1] and 1.076 (95% CI 1.060-1.092) [NUTS-3]. Conclusion Long-term ...
Air pollution in association with mental and self-rated health and the mediating effect of physical activity
Long-term exposure to PM2.5, BC and NO2 averaged 14.5, 1.4, and 21.8 µg/m3, respectively. An interquartile range (IQR) increment in PM2.5 exposure was associated with higher odds of suboptimal vitality (OR ...
Cost-effectiveness analysis of a school- and community-based intervention to promote a healthy lifestyle and prevent type 2 diabetes in vulnerable families across Europe: the Feel4Diabetes-study.
achieved on the very long-term (>30 years). The intervention in its entirety was cost-effective (more QALY s at a reasonable investment) in Belgium, Finland, Bulgaria, and Hungary, while being dominant ...
