Oxidative stress pathways involved in cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on cells constitutive of alveolo-capillary barrier in vitro.
examined on cell lines representative of alveolo-capillary barrier. The present study showed that all nanoparticle-exposed cell lines displayed ROS generation. Macrophage-like THP-1 and HPMEC- ST1.6R ...
Short-term effect of pollen and spore exposure on allergy morbidity in the Brussels-Capital Region.
most affected by allergic rhinitis. Pollen grains and fungal spores represent important triggers of symptoms. However, few studies have investigated their real link with disease morbidity over several ...

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
jeanselmei. In this study, we developed a SYBR ®green real-time PCR assay based on the internal transcribed spacer 2 from the 18S ribosomal DNA complex for the specific detection of E. jeanselmei. The ...
Human biomonitoring of heavy metals in the vicinity of non-ferrous metal plants in Ath, Belgium.
Arch Public Health, Volume 74, p.42 (2016) Abstract: BACKGROUND: A previous study revealed an environmental contamination by heavy metals in the vicinity of two non-ferrous metal plants in Ath, Belgium. ...
Toxicity in lead salt spiked soils to plants, invertebrates and microbial processes: Unraveling effects of acidification, salt stress and ageing reactions.
metal salts do not mimic those of metals in the field. This study was set up to test the magnitude of effects of salinity, acidification, and ageing on toxicity of lead (Pb) to plants, invertebrates and ...
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 ...
