Benchmarking waste management performance and optimizing waste collection systems in the Brussels Capital Region KU Leuven
The question of how to maintain our current level of welfare, while staying within the boundaries of our planet has finally obtained a more prominent place in policy-making, legislation and the academic literature. Achieving this balance will require a systematic change of the economy in which the current linear model (produce - consume - dispose) is replaced by a circular model. The recovery of materials at the end of a product's life and their ...
Waarnemingen.be – Non-native plant and animal occurrences in Flanders and the Brussels Capital Region, Belgium Research Institute for Nature and Forest Ghent University University of Antwerp
Citizen scientists make important contributions to the collection of occurrence data of non-native species. We present two datasets comprising more than 520,000 records of 1,771 non-native species from Flanders and the Brussels Capital Region in Belgium, Western Europe, collected through the website http://www.waarnemingen.be hosted by Stichting Natuurinformatie and managed by the nature conservation NGO Natuurpunt. Most records were collected ...
Wastewater as a Heat Source for Individual Residence Heating: A Techno-economic Feasibility Study in the Brussels Capital Region KU Leuven
© 2017, International Centre for Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems SDEWES. All rights reserved. A large part of the thermal energy in buildings is lost through the drain and ends up as warm wastewater in the sewer system. The installation of heat exchangers in the sewer system enables a rise of the source temperature of heat pumps, increasing their coefficient of performance. To investigate the potential of such a ...
Waarnemingen.be – Plant occurrences in Flanders and the Brussels Capital Region, Belgium Meise Botanic Garden KU Leuven University of Antwerp

The dataset contains almost 1.2 million plant occurrences of 1,222 native vascular plant species, mostly recorded by volunteers (citizen scientists), mainly since 2008. The occurrences are derived from the database http://www.waarnemingen.be, hosted by Stichting Natuurinformatie and managed by the ...
Direct cost saving potential in medication costs due to a reduction in outdoor air pollution for the Brussels Capital Region. Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Introduction: The adverse health effects of exposure to air pollution have been well-established and include mortality, hospital admissions, emergency department visits, etc, but also less severe outcomes such as medication use and purchase. The economic impact, an additional motivator for policy, has been studied primarily for the more severe outcomes.
Methods: Purchase data of reimbursed medications typically prescribed for asthma and ...

Stable isotopes (δ18O and δD) analyses to identify the main sources of aquifer recharge in the Brussels Capital Region (Belgium) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Urban aquifers are particularly difficult to manage mostly because urban activities
and infrastructures severely impact their recharge. Impervious surfaces reduce the natural infiltration of rainwater, concurrently waste and drinking waters represent an important contribution to the aquifer recharge. These modifications vary geographically due to the local particularities of the urban infrastructures but also in function of the type of ...

Stable isotopes (δ18O and δD) analyses to identify the main sources of aquifer recharge in the Brussels Capital Region (Belgium) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Urban aquifers are particularly difficult to manage mostly because urban activities and infrastructures severely impact their recharge. Impervious surfaces reduce the natural infiltration of rainwater while waste-water and drink-waters represent an important part of the aquifer recharge. These perturbations vary geographically due to the particularities of the local urban infrastructures but also in function of the type of the aquifers (perched, ...
‘The use of municipal administrative sanctions by the municipalities of Brussels. Is there a need for a regulating role for the Brussels Capital Region?’ at http://www.brusselsstudies.be/PDF/EN_60_BruS18EN.pdf Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The laws of 1999 and 2004 concerning the implementation
of municipal administrative sanctions
(in short GAS legislation) gave local authorities
new legal instruments to act more vigourously
against phenomena of nuisance. Local authorities
can now impose an administrative fine of up to
250 euros for behaviour which is contrary to
public order (cleanliness, safety and quiet enjoyment)
or which causes ...
