Early effects of air pollution on respiratory function and neurobehavioral abilities in children, and the influence of lifestyle changes to reduce exposure. University of Antwerp
Environmental magnetism for air pollution monitoring in Flanders Ghent University
This proposal aims to investigate the application potential of environmental magnetism for air
pollution monitoring in Flanders (BE). While soils accumulate atmospheric particles over long
timespans, vegetation only captures particles within a growing season. Together they respectively
represent sub-recent and recent impact of air pollution.
First, a standardized protocol will be developed to accurately record the ...

Effects of ambient air pollution on angiogenesis driving chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension KU Leuven
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare complication of pulmonary embolism (PE). However, the absence of specific symptoms prevents or delays its diagnosis. Treatment is complex, involving high-risk surgery (pulmonary endarterectomy; PEA), angioplasty and drugs, and is not always efficient. There is a crucial need to understand why a subset of patients develop CTEPH after acute PE and to implement therapeutic strategy ...
