EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
(iii) assessment of any digestion or degradation of NC by the human microbiome. Eight NC samples belonging to the three NC types, plus a comparator in the micro-range, were selected as study materials and ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
Organization. Yet, no toxins were found in Belgium’s drinking water. However, the situation is very different for the Belgian fresh waterbodies (lakes, ponds, canals). There, MC s ranging from 0.11 µg L−1 to ...

Validity of air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollution in Belgium
by air pollution was 2.10 [CI 95% : 1.86-2.67] times higher for each Interquartile range (IQR) increase in NO2 concentration (PM2.5 ; 1.77 [CI 95% : 1.53-2.07], PM10 ; 1.61 (95% CI : 1.33-1.67), ...
A Summer of Cyanobacterial Blooms in Belgian Waterbodies: Microcystin Quantification and Molecular Characterizations
Health Organization (WHO) recommended guideline value for microcystins in recreational water (24 µg L−1) was surpassed in 18 samples. The microcystin concentrations ranged from 0.11 µg L−1 to 2798.81 µg ...
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 ...
Residential Exposure to Urban Trees and Medication Sales for Mood Disorders and Cardiovascular Disease in Brussels, Belgium: An Ecological Study
prescribed for mood disorders and cardiovascular disease. Methods: We developed a workflow to automatically isolate all individual trees from airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data collected in ...
Urban environment and mental health: the NAMED project, protocol for a mixed-method study
mental health are still not well understood. These associations are highly complex and require an interdisciplinary and integrated research approach to cover the broad range of mitigating factors. This ...
Association between local airborne tree pollen composition and surrounding land cover across different spatial scales in Northern Belgium
Non-metric multidimensional scaling was used to investigate environmental gradients that determine the pollen composition and amounts. Land cover types were identified across spatial scales ranging between 20 m and 5 km. The ...
