(author), Kuiper, C.F. (author), van Someren, E.P. (author)There is a need for representative in vitro models to assess the effects of airborne particles on lung health. The ob-jective of this study was to assess the cellular effects of cerium oxide (Ce02) particles exposed via an air—liquid interface in three relevant cell models in parallel. BEAS-2B, A549, and MucilAirTM cells were exposed for 1 hour...article 2016

Etman, A. (author), Kamphuis, C.B.M. (author), Pierik, F.H. (author), Burdorf, A. (author), van Lenthe, F.J. (author)Background: Living longer independently may be facilitated by an attractive and safe residential area, which stimulates physical activity. We studied the association between area characteristics and disabilities and whether this association is mediated by transport-related physical activity (TPA). Methods: Longitudinal data of 271 Dutch...article 2016

Keuken, M.P. (author), Moerman, M. (author), Voogt, M. (author), Zandveld, P. (author), Verhagen, H. (author), Stelwagen, U. (author), de Jonge, D. (author)In this study, NOx and particle number concentration (PNC) at an urban background and a traffic location were measured in the city of Amsterdam (the Netherlands). Modelled and measured contributions to NOx and PNC at the traffic location were used to derive real-world PN emission factors for average urban road traffic. The results for NOx were...article 2016

Wolfermann, A. (author), Gade, K. (author), Jonkers, E. (author)Intelligent transport systems are accepted as an integral part of the transport system. They have high potential in reducing the carbon footprint of traffic while improving efficient and safe transport. The calculation of CO<inf>2</inf> emissions arising from the transport sector incorporating the impact of ITS is a challenging task. A...article 2015

Verbeek, R.P. (author)Data delen, dat is niet iets waar veel schippers voor warmlopen. Maar het kan veel opleveren door bepaalde gegevens van een schip te delen. Wat zijn de beste snel-heden om op welke waterwegen mee te varen? Die informatie kan door data te delen gebrui-kt worden door minder ervaren schippers. Ook kan een motor langer in bedrijf blijven als je er...article 2017

(author)Intestinal translocation is a key factor for determining bioavailability of nanoparticles (NPs) after oral uptake. Therefore, we evaluated three in vitro intestinal cell models of increasing complexity which might affect the translocation of NPs: a mono-culture (Caco-2 cells), a co-culture with mucus secreting HT29-MTX cells and a tri-culture...article 2015

Combes, F. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author)In passenger transport, hub-and-spoke networks allow the transportation of small passenger flows with competitive frequencies, in a way that direct line networks cannot. Equivalently, in freight transport, it can be expected that small shipper-receiver flows of high added value commodities transit through hub and spoke networks, while larger...article 2016

Hauck, M. (author), Maalcke-Luesken, F.A. (author), Jetten, M.S.M. (author), Huijbregts, M.A.J. (author)Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a novel way to reduce nitrogen in ammonium rich wastewater. Although aquatic eutrophication will certainly be reduced, it is unknown how other environmental impacts may change by including anammox in the treatment of wastewater. Here, life cycle assessment (LCA) was used to assess the environmental...article 2016

Havermans, J.B.G.A. (author), Dekker, R. (author), Sportel, R. (author)One of the most previous conservation treatments for plant specimen in herbarium collections was mercuric chloride (HgCl2). However, due time HgCl2 may decompose and it may cause (metallic) mercury (Hg) emission. Hg vapour in indoor air should be avoided as mercury poisoning can already occur at levels of 6 μg/m3. Both field and laboratory...article 2015

(author)Decisions on transport policy measures proposed by the European Union (EU) have long-term and important impacts on economy, environment and society. Transport policy measures can lock up capital for decades and cause manifold external effects – thus, policy measures may have a tremendous scope, especially if proposed on a European level.
