Biochemical and microbiological soil effects of a biostimulant based on Bacillu...
Caballero, P.; Castaño, A.; Macías, S.; Martín, L.; Tejada, M.; Parrado, J.A fermentative process has been applied to carry out the conversion of sludge from slaughterhouse wastewater treatment into a biostimulant complex. The three biostimulant components are: a) The Bacillus licheniformis biomass, which is a plant growth promoter rhizobacteria (PGPR), and the organism in charge of the fermentative process, b) the enzymatic secretion of said microorganism, mainly peptidases and amida...
Human biomonitoring in risk assessment: analysis of the current practice and 1s...
Santonen, T.; Heinälä, M.; Bessems, J.; Buekers, J.; Cornelis, C.; Vermeire, T.; Woutersen, M.; van Engelen, J.; Borges, T.; Rousselle, C.; Ougier, E.In chemicals risk assessment frameworks, the default approach is to assess external intake from different sources of exposure and via different routes of exposure. They are often assessed separately. This approach includes various uncertainties and often overestimates the real uptake since default, conservative estimates are used e.g. for the absorption of the chemical. At the same time, actual (real life) expo...
A pilot study on the feasibility of European harmonized Human Biomonitoring : s...
Casteleyn, L.; Dumez, B.; Becker, K.; Kolossa-Gehring, M.; Den Hond, E.; Schoeters, G.; Castaño, A.; Koch, H. M.; Angerer, J.; Esteban, M.; Exley, K.In 2004 the European Commission and Member States initiated activities towards a harmonized approach for Human Biomonitoring surveys throughout Europe. The main bjective was to sustain environmental health policy by building a coherent and sustainable framework and by increasing the comparability of data across countries. A pilot study to test common guidelines for setting up surveys was considered a key step i...
Interpreting biomarker data from the COPHES/DEMOCOPHES twin projects : using ex...
Smolders, R.; Den Hond, E.; Koppen, G.; Govarts, E.; Willems, H.; Casteleyn, L.; Kolossa-Gehring, M.; Fiddicke, U.; Castaño, A.; Koch, H. M.In 2011 and 2012,the COPHES/DEMOCOPHES twin projects performedt he first ever harmonized human biomonitoring survey in 17 European countries.In more than 1800 mother–child pairs,individual lifestyle data were collected and cadmium,cotinine and certain phthalate metabolites were measured in urine. Total mercury was determined in hair samples.While the main goal of the COPHES/DEMOCOPHES twin projects was to devel...
