Health impact resulting from the introduction of low-emission zones and the role of socio-economic position in this: a natural experiment in 3 Belgian cities. KU Leuven
This study intends to quantify the impact of the 3 LEZ in Belgium in terms of air quality and public health . Specific focus will be on the relationship between the socioeconomic position, environmental factors and health, and the impact of the introduction of the LEZ on this triple risk. By considering intra-urban and socioeconomic variation regarding the impact of a LEZ, this study will contribute to a better understanding of the complexity ...
How does a drinking water intervention impact water quality and health? A field experiment to determine the role of contextual factors in household drinking water practices. Ghent University
Globally, more than half of the deaths due to diarrhoea are caused by a lack of water, sanitation and hygiene provision (WASH), particularly In Sub-Saharan Africa. Improving access to WASH is therefore an important goal of development cooperation. Many authors studied the health effects of these WASH interventions on waterborne diseases and diarrhoea incidence, indicating significant positive health outcomes. However, much less attention has ...
The Unthinkable Experiment Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Brussels youth:
The Unthinkable Experiment is a knowledge experiment in which young people from Brussels – from all directions, disciplines, social contexts – come together to think about the future outside any existing framework. The boundaries between ...

Indirect control of soil texture on decomposition of organic matter by mediation of the soil moisture balance - expansion of a field experiment with the factor soil drainage/capillary rise and 13C-pulse-labelling Ghent University
Soils function central ecosystem compartments as emitter of greenhouse gases, reservoir of
nutrients and carbon, water and biota. The dynamics of soil organic matter (SOM) are interlinked
with local as well as global biogeochemical cycles and its study is a research topic of high relevance
agriculturally and environmentally. One key determinant of soil microbial activity is soil texture with
enhanced physical ...
