Urban green space, human heat perception and sleep quality: A repeated cross-sectional study.
of combining trees with lower vegetation in urban planning to mitigate heat-related stress and enhance sleep quality, thereby improving overall well-being during heat events. Health Topics: Health and ...
Assessment of receptor-mediated activity (AhR and ERα), mutagenicity, and teratogenicity of metal shredder wastes in Wallonia, Belgium.
including fluff, dust, and scrubbing sludge were sampled in 2019 from two metal shredding facilities located in Wallonia, Belgium. To assess the extent of the contamination, a global approach combining ...
A validation methodology for size and shape measurement of nanoplastics by transmission electron microscopy
surface. Each series of 10 images is analyzed using the ParticleSizer software in ImageJ. The intermediate precision of the quantitative TEM measurement is evaluated using a top-down approach [4] combining ...
Characterization of functional nanoparticles applied in face masks by STEM-EDX
in Fig. 1), (iii) a silver-zincoxide NP composite, (iv) nanoscale silver precipitation on a mineral complex and (v) NP containing a combination of silver and sulfur or silver and tin. In 4 out of ...
Modelling grass pollen load in temperate and Mediterranean European areas based on source spatial distribution
remotely sensed products provided by the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. The combination of different products allowed us to characterise the spatial distribution of different grass-dominated habitats, ...
EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders, 2023
a summary measure that combines both mortality and morbidity. Given the extensive list of potential risk factor-health outcome pairs, a set of priorities was defined in terms of environmental stressors and ...
Unlocking the Power of Transcriptomic Biomarkers in Qualitative and Quantitative Genotoxicity Assessment of Chemicals.
classification accuracy for genotoxicity. As these biomarkers were extracted from different training sets, we investigated whether combining the two biomarkers in a human-derived metabolically competent cell line ...
Pollutant exposure and myocardial injury: Protocol and progress report for a toxicological systematic mapping review.
conducting toxicological systematic reviews, we selected 362 out of 8111 (17%), (67%), and combined (16%) studies for 129 potential cardiotoxic environmental pollutants, including heavy metals (29%), air ...
Novel prediction models for genotoxicity based on biomarker genes in human HepaRG™ cells.
RNA-sequencing, was investigated. Overall, the RF and SVM models were complementary in their classification of chemicals for genotoxicity. To facilitate data analysis, an online application was developed, combining ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
method. Finally, the results from the 79 samples from algal blooms, 75 drinking water samples, 35 algal-based food supplements, and 103 fruits and vegetable samples were combined with consumption data from ...
