Intake estimation of Nickel via food for the Belgian population and identification of potential sources of Nickel contamination Ghent University
The general research question determines the extent to which foodstuffs present on the Belgian market give rise to exposure to nickel through the various (known) contamination pathways and thus constitute a potential (chronic and acute) risk for public health, taking into account subgroups in the Belgian population.
Re-evaluating the role of volatile organic compounds through quantum theoretical and modelling studies KU Leuven
This profile addresses especially important areas of uncertainty: - our ability to exploit spaceborne atmospheric measurements (e.g. HCHO, glyoxal, HCOOH, etc.) is clearly limited by the mechanistic uncertainties - the impact of BVOCs on oxidants and on highly oxidized organic compounds contributing to new particle formation and organic aerosol growth is still poorly understood, despite recent progress and the recognition of the crucial role ...
Thorough study of aqueous and solvent interactions in the cleaning of Asian lacquer Ghent University
This research project focuses on the scientific study of the interacties of cleaning solvents with the lacquer surface in order to formulate "best practices" for cleaning Asian lacquers. The emphasis is put upon possible changes in chemical as well as physical aspects of the lacquer through solvent and aqueous cleaning. There will be special attention to the lacquer collection of the RMAH (estimated at 250 pieces), evaluating the current ...
