Residential tree canopy configuration and mortality in 6 million Swiss adults: a longitudinal study.
for personal sociodemographic and contextual covariates. We also explored the effect modification by tree canopy cover, PM, air temperature, urbanisation level, age, sex, and area-based local ...
Associations of heat with diseases and specific symptoms in Flanders, Belgium: An 8-year retrospective study of general practitioner registration data.
conditional quasi-Poisson regression was used to account for the non-linear and delayed effect of temperature indicators (minimum, mean and maximum). We controlled for potential confounders such as particulate ...
Bioaccumulation of organic and inorganic contaminants in biota: A long-term evaluation in the Belgian part of the North Sea
a harmful effect on the marine ecosystem. To fully understand the impact of these chemicals, monitoring programs should not only focus on sediment concentrations, but should also take into account the ...
Assessment of receptor-mediated activity (AhR and ERα), mutagenicity, and teratogenicity of metal shredder wastes in Wallonia, Belgium.
S9 metabolic fraction) whereas in the TA100 strain (+ S9 metabolic fraction), only the sludge sample (site 2) showed a clear mutagenic effect. The in vivo toxicity/teratogenicity of the shredder ...
A validation methodology for size and shape measurement of nanoplastics by transmission electron microscopy
nanoplastics (NP s) through processes such as aging, degradation, and fragmentation. While significant research has focused on quantification and understanding the potential harmful effects of larger MP s [1], ...
Characterization of functional nanoparticles applied in face masks by STEM-EDX
health effects are reported for nano-silver [3], their use in masks raises health concerns because of the potential inhalation exposure to nanoparticles. This emerging area of concern lacks methodological ...
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 ...
Impact of environmental nitrogen enrichment on birch pollen allergy
determination (ImmunoCAP, Phadia). For BAT, area under the curve (AUC), half maximal effective concentration (EC50), and maximal reactivity were compared. Results: No difference in BAT reactivity was observed in ...
Towards a more effective REACH legislation in protecting human health.
market access can be optimized. Additionally, no guidance documents exist for regulation of mixture effects. Further, the lengthiness before regulatory action is a big concern. Decision-making often takes ...
A systematic review and meta-analysis of human population studies on the association between exposure to toxic environmental chemicals and left ventricular dysfunction (LVD).
studies involving 43.358 individuals exposed to air pollution and 2038 exposed to heavy metals. Approximately 41% of the effect measures of associations reported significant abnormalities in myocardial ...
