Somers Source: Environmental Health Perspectives, Volume 130, Issue 5 (2022) Abstract: Background: The available evidence for positive associations between urban trees and human health is mixed, partly ...
Exposure to green spaces may strengthen resilience and support mental health in the face of the covid-19 pandemic
the potential of green spaces for human health, it is recommended that they are more explicitly included in public health and spatial planning policies, and that prescribed exposure to green spaces is ...
Dietary exposure of the Belgian population to microplastics through a diverse food basket
Keywords: microplastics Abstract: presentation during Scientific Colloquium 25 “A coordinated approach to assess the human health risks of micro- and nanoplastics in food,” Health Topics: Food consumption ...
Association between local airborne tree pollen composition and surrounding land cover across different spatial scales in Northern Belgium
pollen are important aeroallergens affecting human health. Local airborne pollen compositions can pose health-risks for the sensitized population, but at present little is known about fine-scale pollen ...
Update of the risk assessment of hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs) in food
hexabromocyclododecanes human exposure occurrence Risk Assessment Toxicology Abstract: The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2011 risk assessment on hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDD s) in food. HBCDD s, ...
Development and application of a novel method to assess exposure levels of sensitizing and irritating substances leaching from menstrual hygiene products
makes it possible to estimate realistic human exposure levels to skin sensitizers and irritants through the use of MHP s. Availability of these exposure estimates is vital to carry out a quantitative ...
Enantiomeric fraction of hexabromocyclododecanes in foodstuff from the Belgian market
(2020) Keywords: Chiral compound Enantiomer Environmental contaminant food HBCDD Abstract: Diet is considered a major route of human exposure to hexabromocyclododecane, a chiral environmental contaminant. ...
Risk assessment of glycoalkaloids in feed and food, in particular in potatoes and potato‐derived products
Panel identified a lowest‐observed‐adverse‐effect level of 1 mg total potato GA s/kg body weight (bw) per day as a reference point for the risk characterisation following acute exposure. In humans, no ...
