Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in food and beverages: determination by LC-HRMS and occurrence in products from the Belgian market.
persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic character, PFAS have become environmental contaminants, and exposure to these chemicals may lead to adverse health effects. This study aimed to provide a sensitive ...
FT-IR spectroscopy as a rapid method for Salmonella spp. typing
products are most often implicated, although it can contaminate many food products. Fourier transform (FT- IR) spectroscopy allows for a rapid and cost-effective typing method of this bacterium at the ...
A BMD-based strategy to assess the combined effects of genotoxicants
Publication Type: Scientific poster, presentation or proceeding Authors: Julie Sanders; Roel Anthonissen; George Johnson; Camille Streel; Tamara Vanhaecke; Birgit Mertens Source: BfR retreat of Department 6 & 7, Berlin, Germany (0) Keywords: genotoxic ...
Which government policies to create sustainable food systems have the potential to simultaneously address undernutrition, obesity and environmental sustainability?
triple-duty potential if they were deemed effective in tackling two or three of the primary outcomes of interest: (1) undernutrition, (2) obesity/ NCD s and (3) environmental degradation. RESULTS: The desk ...
Advances in monitoring-centered quantification of microcystins in fish matrix using UHPLC-MS/MS
published methods were necessary before validation of the method was possible. Moreover, elution gradients and the selection of the daughter ions had to be optimized to deal with the matrix effect propagated ...
Please don't throw me in the briar patch! Empirical evidence on the role of instructional cues on eco-label usage in fish consumption decisions
was observed. Notably, this effect was evident only in the absence of supporting information on Enviroscore, and the observed impact could not be attributed to any indirect attention effect. In ...
A Benchmark Dose-based strategy for evaluating the combined effects of genotoxic compounds
Publication Type: Scientific poster, presentation or proceeding Authors: Julie Sanders; Roel Anthonissen; George Johnson; Tamara Vanhaecke; Birgit Mertens Source: BelTox Annual Meeting, Brussels, Belgium (2023) Keywords: benchmark dose modelling genotoxic ...
Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
consisting of mica platelets coated with a layer of titanium dioxide and/or iron oxide particles, are applied to provide glitter effects1. For control and risk assessment of multi-constituent substances and ...
Urine concentrations of Arsenic and its species in adolescents from Wallonia (Belgium).
effect on the urine concentrations of As and its species for these adolescents. For TRA, the most relevant biomarker for the adverse effects of arsenic, this translates into reference values of 13 μg/L for ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
strength, or barrier activity against oxygen and carbon dioxide, and the cost-effectiveness. However, apart from macroplastics, we are facing with the serious problem of microplastics (MP s) and nanoplastics ...
