Estimating the Uncertainty in Airborne Birch Pollen Modelling
model (System for Integrated modeLling of Atmospheric composition). The key question, however, is which uncertainty can be expected when modelling and forecasting airborne pollen levels? Materials & ...
First European pollen reanalysis for allergenic trees
in Europe has been growing during the last several decades. Climate change is directly affecting the main factors driving the airborne pollen levels released by anemophilous plants. A retrospective ...
Impact of environmental nitrogen enrichment on birch pollen allergy
two consecutive sampling rounds in Belgium and across Europe from sites with varying levels of environmental nitrogen deposition did not consistently impact pollen allergenicity. Further analysis will ...
Metabarcoding and metagenomics techniques in monitoring airborne pollen
Traditionally, pollen concentrations in the air are estimated from analyses based on identification and quantification using optical microscopy. However, the classification of pollen types at the species level ...

prevalence and antimicrobial use. Methods: Data collection for the 2022 survey was conducted from September to November, following the ECDC protocol (version 6.0) at hospital/ward/patient levels ...
Antimicrobial Use in Belgian Acute Care Hospitals: Results of the 2022 ECDC Point Prevalence Survey
levels. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted between September and November 2022 in 57 representative acute care Belgian hospital sites (35 mergers), following the ECDC- PPS protocol version 6.0. ...
Exploring anxiety and depression trends: insights from the BELHEALTH cohort 2022-2024 in Belgium
observed among unemployed and younger individuals, as well as those living alone, in the Walloon Region (South of Belgium). Overall, people with a low level of resilience or a low level of social support ...
Disparities in COVID-19 Vaccination in Belgium
context, the present contribution investigated the association between COVID-19 vaccination and demographic and socio-economic factors in Belgium at area and individual levels. Methods: The Belgian vaccine ...
Occurrence and Synthesis Pathways of (Suspected) Genotoxic α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyls in Chocolate and Other Commercial Sweet Snacks.
by bean roasting. Notably, levels of 2-phenylbut-2-enal (up to 399 μg·kg) and 5-methyl-2-phenylhex-2-enal (up to 216 μg·kg) increased up to 40-fold. Dry conching caused evaporation of α,β-unsaturated ...
Occurrence and Synthesis Pathways of (Suspected) Genotoxic α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyls in Chocolate and Other Commercial Sweet Snacks
coupled to GC- MS / SIM. Monitored α,β-unsaturated aldehydes were formed during chocolate production, primarily through aldol condensation of Strecker aldehydes triggered by bean roasting. Notably, levels ...
