Release of nano-objects, aggregates and agglomerates from masks (RENAAME): Detection of release in aerosol phase
of masks and for evaluating the release of these nanoparticles in the aerosol phase. This communication details the first results of the third phase of the project, which aims to develop test benches ...
EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders, 2024
geographic detail to the EBD estimates, and allows to mutually compare small areas and local populations. Additionally, the local results can be aggregated to wider areas and larger populations, which allows ...
Urban green space, human heat perception and sleep quality: A repeated cross-sectional study.
significant challenges to public health, as exposure to high temperatures is associated to heat stress, resulting in heat strain, sleep deprivation, and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. As the frequency ...
Associations of heat with diseases and specific symptoms in Flanders, Belgium: An 8-year retrospective study of general practitioner registration data.
matter, humidity, and ozone. RESULTS: The overall (lag0-14) association between heat and most of the outcomes was J-shaped, with an increased risk of disease observed at higher temperatures. The ...
The International cookbook for wastewater practitioners- Vol. 1 SARS-CoV-2
Global collaboration resulted in step-change improvements in multiple aspects of WBS simultaneously, including: health sector leadership; integration with public health surveillance; social and ethical ...
What drives the long-term changes in airborne birch and grass pollen levels in Belgium?
two scenarios: 1. Reference Scenario (i): SILAM was run for 38 seasons with a fixed emission map of birch and grass pollen sources. Variations in airborne pollen levels result solely from changes in ...
Analyzing the airborne birch and grass pollen monitoring network in Belgium
mode (three days), determining the trajectory of birch and grass pollen observed at the network stations. Nine pollen seasons (2013–2021) were analyzed using ECMWF ERA5 meteorology. Results The network ...
Estimating the Uncertainty in Airborne Birch Pollen Modelling
native grid), we randomly redistributed the birch pollen emission sources 100 times. From the resulting 100 SILAM model runs, 100 spatial-temporal datasets on surface birch pollen levels were produced, and ...
Evaluation of European Pollen Reanalysis
reanalysis is generally unbiased by its design. However, predictions in some individual years and at specific stations could manifest noticeable deviations, offset in other years. As a result, RMSE was mostly ...
First European pollen reanalysis for allergenic trees
Assimilation of the pollen concentrations was performed separately for every year and each tree. It resulted in a better representation of pollen observations (including those which were not assimilated) then ...
