(author)Proximity to facilities emitting polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) has been associated with increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). There is limited information about whether proximity to industrial sources leads to indoor PCDD/F contamination of homes. We measured carpet dust concentrations (pg/g...article 2017

Erbe, C. (author), Ainslie, M.A. (author), de Jong, C.A.F. (author), Racca, R. (author), Stocker, M. (author)As concern about anthropogenic noise and its impacts on marine fauna is increasing around the globe, data are being compared across populations, species, noise sources, geographic regions, and time. However, much of the raw and processed data are not comparable due to differences in measurement methodology, analysis and reporting, and a lack of...conference paper 2016

Hendriks, C. (author), Kuenen, J. (author), Kranenburg, R. (author), Scholz, Y. (author), Schaap, M. (author)Effective air pollution and short-lived climate forcer mitigation strategies can only be designed when the effect of emission reductions on pollutant concentrations and health and ecosystem impacts are quantified. Within integrated assessment modeling source-receptor relationships (SRRs) based on chemistry transport modeling are used to this end...article 2015

van den Hoogenband, V. (author), Mak, W.A. (author), Versloot, N.H.A. (author)A large number of materials and substances show decomposition reactions during handling, production and transport. The amount of heat and pressure generated during this decomposition will determine if a substance can be considered thermally stable in a specific packaging size and temperature. Often the so called Self Accelerating Decomposition...conference paper 2011

Höfer, T. (author), James, D. (author), Syversen, T. (author), Bowmer, T. (author)Data on acute lethal inhalation toxicity from animal studies are commonly required for assessing the hazards to human health of volatile, gaseous and dusty chemicals or their mixtures. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) made the provision of acute inhalation toxicity data a mandatory requirement for the carriage of bulk liquid...article 2011

Drupsteen, L. (author), Steijger, D.J.M. (author), Groeneweg, J. (author), Zwetsloot, G.I.J.M. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)The main purpose of our ongoing study is to develop knowledge on how to improve learning from incidents in organisations. In this phase of the study insight into the main bottlenecks is created. Many organizations investigate accidents and incidents to understand what happened, what caused it and why, and how to learn lessons from them to...conference paper 2011

Poot, A. (author), Quik, J.T.K. (author), Veld, H. (author), Koelmans, A.A. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Black Carbon (BC) quantification methods are reviewed, including new Rock-Eval 6 data on BC reference materials. BC has been reported to have major impacts on climate, human health and environmental quality. Especially for risk assessment of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) it is important to account for risk reduction caused by BC, as...article 2009

Dijk, M. (author), Montalvo Corral, C. (author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)This paper studies the factors that lead automotive manufacturing firms to invest in Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEVs). ULEVs are vehicles that emit extremely low levels of harmful gases compared to other vehicles. In contrast to studies that examine aggregated patterns on the market (such as sales levels, new launches and issued patents),...article 2009

(author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)The surfactant nonylphenol (NP) is an endocrine-disrupting compound that is widely spread throughout the environment. Although environmental risk assessments are based on total NP concentrations, only the bioavailable fraction posses an environmental risk. The present study describes the bioavailability and biodegradability of NP over time in...article 2008

Pekalski, A.A. (author), Zevenbergen, J.F. (author), Lemkowitz, S.M. (author), Pasman, H.J. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Ideally, explosion risk is identified and prevented at an early stage of process design, forming a key part of the inherently safer design (ISD) approach. However, in practice, explosion risk often cannot be eliminated completely. Reliable preventive and protective systems must therefore be applied, as part of the now widely applied barrier or...article 2005
