Assessment of natural coagulants to remediate Tunisian textile wastewater by combining physicochemical, analytical, and toxicological data
induced a genotoxic response in the VITOTOX ® assay. The genotoxic effect was not linked to the presence of CV and was no longer observed after treatment with each of the natural coagulants, suggesting the ...
Thyroid cancer incidence near nuclear sites in Belgium: An ecological study at small geographical level
exposure–response relationships were also observed for the site of Fleurus. Further investigations into these findings could be useful to allow inferring causal relationships on the origin of variations in incidence ...
Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population
carcinogenic, no adequate dose-response carcinogenicity data are available and consequently, no MOE-based risk assessment could be performed. Two worst‐case scenarios were applied to obtain some preliminary ...
Investigations of the relationship between airborne fungal diversity and IgE sensitization, inflammatory responses and asthma
Santé et environnement Gezondheid en milieu Service: Réponse immunitaire Immuunrespons Immune response Manuscript versions: DOI: https://dipot.ulb.ac.be/dspace/bitstream/2013/250383/3/DIFUSION.pdf ...
Isolation and characterization of the compounds responsible for the antimutagenic activity of Combretum microphyllum (Combretaceae) leaf extracts
the tools that can be used to identify compounds with potential cancer chemopreventive properties. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterise the compounds responsible for the antimutagenic ...
Scientific opinion on Malachite green in food
non-neoplastic effects, a lower 95% confidence limit for a benchmark response of 5% extra risk (BMDL05) of 6 mg/kg bw per day was selected for the effect of MG on liver weight and of LMG on body weight. The ...
Oxidative stress pathways involved in cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on cells constitutive of alveolo-capillary barrier in vitro.
analysis showed that specific pathways associated with cellular stress response were activated concomitantly with DNA repair or apoptosis. Nanoparticles-induced oxidative stress is finally signal transducer ...
Scientific Opinion on the Risks for human health related to the presence of 3- and 2-monochloropropanediol (MCPD), and their fatty acid esters, and glycidyl fatty acid esters in food
assumed to contribute equally to internal exposures. Nephrotoxicity was consistently observed in rats treated with 3- MCPD. Data on 2- MCPD toxicity were insufficient for dose-response assessments. Chronic ...
Biological activity conferred by endocrine disrupting chemicals in hospital effluent and river water from the Brussels Region, Belgium
gene expression) bioassay using a luciferase reporter gene as part of BG1 luc4E2 cells (human ovarian adenocarcinoma). Responses are time, dose, and ligand specific using 17β-estradiol (the natural ...
