This study aims to determine whether, and if so to what extent, the course of disease in COVID-19 in hospitalized patients is influenced by air quality, socio-economic characteristics of patients and spatial characteristics of his place of residence
Air pollution caused by fine particles and markers of inflammation and hemostasis in elderly people with diabetes. Hasselt University
Objectives: 1. Studying the short-term effects of fine dust on pulmonary and cardiovascular parameters (endothelial and platelet function) in individuals with diabetes and elderly in which parameters are measured by the same person during different seasons and during periods of relatively high and low concentrations of fine dust in the air. 2. Determine whether people with diabetes that take medication with an anti-inflammatory action(including ...
Use of plant and epiphytic bacteria to map and reduce the levels of urban air pollution Hasselt University
Environmental Biology, National Scientific and Technical Research Council
The Research Council of Hasselt University approved the stay of Anabel Saran (CONICET Scientific Investigation Agency Argentina). During this stay, Anabel Saran will perform research in cooperation with your research group CMKMB.
The economic impact of air pollution. KU Leuven
Gao Feng, Jan Dhaene
Through a simplified model, we study the volatility of asset prices under the actual probability measure and the risk-neutral probability measure, and compare the relationship between the two. Respectively, from the same securities, different securities, the same observation time, different observation time from the perspective of research.
Systematic review of the prenatal exposure to air pollution and its effects on the placenta. Hasselt University
Fetal development is a crucial window of susceptibility in which exposure-related changes can be fixed on the molecular level, eventually leading to potential changes in metabolism. Molecular markers of exposure, susceptibility and effect are essential to provide information on how the environment can affect the fetal onset of diseases and need to be analysed in the appropriate matrix. The placenta serves as a gatekeeper between mother and fetus ...
Modeling of the plant-atmosphere interactions in the context of air pollution. University of Antwerp
This project represents a research contract awarded by the University of Antwerp. The supervisor provides the Antwerp University research mentioned in the title of the project under the conditions stipulated by the university.
Technologies and tools to prioritize assessment and diagnosis of air pollution impact on immovable and movable cultural heritage. (TEACH) University of Antwerp
Within the framework of this doctoral research, the optimization of the existing micro- and trace analytical techniques such as electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), micro-Raman spectroscopy (MRS) and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) will be carried out in order to obtain the most relevant information required for the determination of the weathering of art objects and for the improvement of conservation techniques and so-called ...
Innovative concepts and technologies for ECOlogically sustainable NUTRIent management in agricultureaiming to prevent, mitigate and eliminate pollution in soils, water and air Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Main research question/goal
How do we achieve reduced nitrate nitrogen and phosphorus leaching, better control of nitrogen losses from ammonia volatilization, and lower greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector, both plant and animal production? We try to answer these questions in the research project ECONUTRI (an Innovation Action project) by optimizing, validating and demonstrating nature-based new ...
Pollution of water resources due to bombing by air strike of Sheba leather industry in Wukro in November 2020. Tigray, Ethiopia Ghent University
Unraveling the hidden pathways of inhaled combustion-derived particles from air pollution Hasselt University
Starting the engine of a car, lighting the fireplace or BBQ, These all seem like harmless activities, but in reality every single one of them produces and emits different soot types. Research has already proven that exposure to these carbon-based particles causes pulmonary as well as nonpulmonary health effects. Yet, up to now, researchers have been groping in the dark about the exact toxicological mechanisms responsible for the latter and the ...
