Heat and health in Antwerp under climate change: Projected impacts and implications for prevention.
mortality Heatwaves Abstract: BACKGROUND: Excessive summer heat is a serious environmental health problem in several European cities. Heat-related mortality and morbidity is likely to increase under climate ...
Taxonomic annotation of public fungal ITS sequences from the built environment- A report from an April 10-11, 2017 workshop (Aberdeen, UK)
persistent residents – may hold clues to the rising levels of human allergies and other medical and building-related health problems observed globally. The taxonomic identity of these fungi is crucial in such ...
BruxAir. Short-term health effects of air pollution in the Brussels Capital Region 2004-2011: an epidemiological time series approach.
ensembles and compartment methods are promising methods to deal with these classes of problems, (3) significant relative risks are found, in particular for NO2 (a known proxy for traffic-related pollution) ...
Oxidative stress pathways involved in cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on cells constitutive of alveolo-capillary barrier in vitro.
to which nanoparticles contribute to cellular toxicity is known to associate induction of oxidative stress. To investigate this problem further, the effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles was ...
A molecular approach for the rapid, selective and sensitive detection of Exophiala jeanselmei in environmental samples: development and performance assessment of a real-time PCR assay
air-conditioning systems. Because this fungal contaminant could be vaporized into the air and subsequently cause health problems, its monitoring is recommended. Currently, this monitoring is based on culture and ...
Biological activity conferred by endocrine disrupting chemicals in hospital effluent and river water from the Brussels Region, Belgium
Problems surrounding these EDC s are their continuous release into the environment through industrial, domestic and hospital effluents and inefficient removal by wastewater treatment plants (WWTP ...
