Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
(NP s), mainly originating by physico-chemical transformation processes, such as aging, degradation and fragmentation. Because of the ease in their detection, several studies have been conducted on ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
(iii) assessment of any digestion or degradation of NC by the human microbiome. Eight NC samples belonging to the three NC types, plus a comparator in the micro-range, were selected as study materials and ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
contaminant present in the sample at once, possibly also at the SNP level. At the time this study started, shotgun metagenomics for the study of food contaminants was in its infancy. Moreover, strain-level ...
Biological activity conferred by endocrine disrupting chemicals in hospital effluent and river water from the Brussels Region, Belgium
routinely monitored in targeted chemo-analytical methods and can detect them at low amounts (pg/L EEQ, Estrogen EQ uivalence). The bioassay used in this study is the CALUX (Chemically activated luciferase ...
In vitro model to study the endocrine disrupting activity of migration products from plastic food contact materials
about BPA because several studies have shown endocrine disruptor potency of BPA causing possible adverse health effects. In January 2011, the European Commission decided to ban the use of polycarbonate to ...
Determination of endocrine disrupting compounds in human placenta by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS: a preliminary study on parabens, bisphenols and alkyl phenols
Publication Type: Scientific poster, presentation or proceeding Authors: Ilse Van Overmeire; K. Vrijens; Nawrot, T.; An Van Nieuwenhuyse; Joris Van Loco; Tim Reyns Source: International symposium on halogenated Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) DIOXIN ...
