Project

Assessment of mycotoxin exposure in the Belgian population using biomarkers

This project will perform an exposure assessment for mycotoxins in Belgium by direct measurements of biomarkers of exposure in morning urine of a representative part of the Belgian population using a validated LC-MS/MS method. Correlations between mycotoxin concentrations measured and the foods consumption reported of both the day before the urine collection and the previous month, will be estimated.
