Variability of iodine concentrations in the human placenta.
deficiency remains a health burden in many countries. We investigated the variability of placental iodine concentrations within and between individuals. We used 20 mother-neonate pairs from the ENVIRONAGE ...
Determinants of placental iodine concentrations in a mild-to-moderate iodine-deficient population: an ENVIRONAGE cohort study
ENVIRONAGE birth cohort (Limburg, Belgium). Sociodemographic and clinical variables were obtained from questionnaires and medical files. Determinants of placental iodine concentration were identified using ...
Assessment of natural coagulants to remediate Tunisian textile wastewater by combining physicochemical, analytical, and toxicological data
variability of textile wastewater composition, a constant search for new treatment strategies that are efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective is mandatory. In the present study, the efficiency of ...
Spatio-temporal monitoring and modelling of birch pollen levels in Belgium
updated maps of birch pollen emission sources are available and if the large inter-seasonal variability of birch pollen is considered. Here we show that the SILAM model driven by ECMWF ERA5 meteorological ...
Residential green space, air pollution, socioeconomic deprivation and cardiovascular medication sales in Belgium: A nationwide ecological study
pollution. We analyzed data for 11,575 census tracts using structural equation models for the entire country and for the administrative regions. Latent variables for green space, air pollution and ...

Targeting the 16S rRNA gene for bacterial identification in complex mixed samples: comparative evaluation of second (Illumina) and third (Oxford Nanopore Technologies) generation sequencing technologies.
amplified and sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq, and analyzed with Mothur. Correct classification was variable, depending on the region amplified. Using a majority vote over all regions, most false positives ...
Dietary exposure of the Belgian population to mineral oil
oil in food is convoluted since it comprises MOSH (saturated hydrocarbons) and variable amounts of mainly alkylated MOAH (aromatic hydrocarbons). Both fractions have a different toxicological profile ...
Analysis of mineral oil in food: An analytical challenge
mixture of linear, branched and cyclic compounds and variable amounts of aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH). Both MOSH and MOAH form “humps” of unresolved peaks in the chromatograms with the same range of ...
