Overview of air quality measures aiming to reduce emissions from road traffic and mitigate health impact in Belgium
a practical tool aiding the design of effective measures for reducing air pollutant emissions, ultimately safeguarding health of the Belgian population. This report is divided into three parts: • An overview of ...
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 ...
Impact of environmental nitrogen enrichment on birch pollen allergy
Betula pollen samples were collected throughout Europe (e.g. Belgium, Sweden, Ireland, Poland, Ukraine, Spain, France). In 2022, 66 samples were collected in a paired design in Belgium. Groups of birch ...
A preliminary estimate of the environmental burden of disease associated with exposure to pyrethroid insecticides and ADHD in Europe based on human biomonitoring
studies are needed, along with increased efforts to harmonize the design of epidemiological studies upfront to guarantee meta-analysis of exposure-response functions. This is particularly important for ...
Spatial configuration of green space matters: Associations between urban land cover and air temperature
trees promotes night-time cooling by 0.44 °C. This study further highlights the need for context-specific strategies. Conserving green locations as urban forests, while designing enclosed grey locations ...
Please don't throw me in the briar patch! Empirical evidence on the role of instructional cues on eco-label usage in fish consumption decisions
a 2 (Enviroscore: with vs without) x 2 (Supporting info on Enviroscore: with vs without) between-subject design, resulting in four treatment groups. A 16% increase in the likelihood of selecting lower-impact products ...
Oncolytic Viruses: An Inventory of Shedding Data from Clinical Trials and Elements for the Environmental Risk Assessment.
Besides the identification of a topical need for improving the collection of shedding data, this article aims at providing an aid to the design of an appropriate shedding study, thereby relying on and ...

level, were specifically designed for this application and need to be assessed. Results: In this study, with different bacterial cocktail mixes, analyzed as pure or spiked in a synthetic fecal matrix, we ...
A qualitative approach to experiential knowledge identified in focus groups aimed at co-designing a provocation test in the study of electrohypersensitivity
demonstrates the complexity of the electrohypersensitivity syndrome and reflects on the difficult transition between the experiential knowledge and the experimental design of provocation studies. Health Topics: ...
Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
a time-stratified case-crossover design and used conditional logistic regression to examine the association between extreme temperatures and overall natural and cause-specific mortality. City-specific estimates were ...
