(author), Lan, Q. (author), Vermeulen, R. (author)Exposure to crystalline silica (quartz) has been implicated as a potential cause of the high lung cancer rates in the neighbouring counties of Xuanwei and Fuyuan, China, where the domestic combustion of locally sourced “smoky” coal (a bituminous coal) is responsible for some of the highest lung cancer rates in the nation, irrespective of gender...article 2017

(author)Rail is a cost-effective and environment friendly freight transport modality when used efficiently. Stakeholders around Dutch ports are discouraged to choose rail due to uncertain train schedules and the dispersed nature of freight flows across terminals in the port. To understand the challenges and opportunities of freight transport using rail,...conference paper 2017

Spreen, J.S. (author), Harmsen, J. (author)Door vrachtvervoer te verschuiven van de weg naar het spoor valt met relatief weinig inspanning veel CO2-winst te behalen, stellen TNO-onderzoekers. Wel nog even het vervoersaanbod bundelen en zorgen voor een goede dienstregeling.article 2017

Snelder, M. (author), Wesseling, B. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author)When infrastructures projects are evaluated, it is not only important to evaluate them with models that represent the average daily situation, but also to evaluate them in case of irregular situations like incidents. This becomes especially relevant when various project alternatives are expected to show significantly different scores in case of...article 2017

Sluijk, N. (author)Er rijden op dit moment bijna 1 miljoen bestelauto’s rond. Met dit grote aantal is de bestelauto het werkpaard van de Nederlandse economie. Keerzijde is het slechte imago op het gebied van duurzaamheid. Elektrisch rijden komt als schoon alternatief daardoor steeds meer in de spotlight te staan, maar de rol is bescheiden omdat de techniek nog...article 2017

Little information is available about OP spatial variation and the possibility to model its spatial variability. Our aim was to measure the spatial variation of OP within and between 10 European study areas. The second aim was to develop land use...article 2017

Blok, M.M. (author)Logistics is one of the top sectors in the Netherlands and currently on the rise again. The smart organisation of the flow of goods can help the Netherlands retain its leading position. The use — but even more importantly, the sharing — of data is essential for this. But what information can you give away? And isn't the competition going to take...article 2017

Milakis, D. (author), Snelder, M. (author), van Arem, B. (author), van Wee, B. (author), de Almeida Correia, G.H. (author)Automated driving technology is emerging. Yet, little is known in the literature about when automated vehicles will reach the market, how penetration rates will evolve and to what extent this new transport technology will affect transport demand and planning. This study uses scenario analysis to identify plausible future development paths of...article 2017

(author)Ammonia (NH3) is difficult to monitor at atmospheric concentrations due its high solubility and reac-tivity and the strong spatial and temporal variations of its concentrations. Monitoring is mostly per-formed using passive samplers or filter packs with daily coverage at best. Only at a few sites ammonia is measured with more expensive wet...article 2017

Drainage centrifugation is considered a simple and straightforward method of determining soil solution chemistry. Although several studies have been carried out to determine whether this method is robust, hardly any results are...article 2017

Kadijk, G. (author)Het blijkt een gouden combinatie: TNO met hun onderzoeksbril en de RDW als kenner van regelgeving en de wereld van de keurmeesters. Het resultaat is een voorstel voor een nieuwe APK-meetprocedure voor de controle van roetfilters. Naar verwachting wordt deze nieuwe emissietest over een paar jaren onderdeel van de APK.article 2017

Lu, S. (author), Heemink, A. (author), Lin, H.X. (author), Segers, A. (author), Fu, G. (author)Remote sensing, as a powerful tool for monitoring atmospheric phenomena, has been playing an increasingly important role in inverse modeling. Remote sensing instruments measure quantities that often combine several state variables as one. This creates very strong correlations between the state variables that share the same observation variable....article 2017

Europa beperkt zich tot nu toe vooral tot het versterken van het beleid dat in interna-tionaal verband gestalte krijgt. Wat zijn de verwachte effecten van het bestaande beleid op de uitstoot van CO2 en...article 2017
