Accumulation of metals in economy and environment and its associated risks, within the Netherlands and the EU.

The research described in this thesis shows that hypercholesterolemia, a well-established risk factor for atherosclerosis, can impact skin lipid pool and barrier function already at young age. In the field of atherosclerosis, we showed that the small peptide Lyp-1 can be used as a targeting molecule…

Novel entities may pose risks to humans and the environment. The small particle size and relatively large surface area of micro- and nanoparticles (MNPs) make them capable of adsorbing other novel entities, leading to the formation of aggregated contamination.

Freshwater is an important resource, but at a great risk of species decline due to habitat loss, pollution and over-exploitation, and invasive alien species.

Assessing the risks of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) solely on the basis of experimental assays is time-consuming, resource intensive, and constrained by ethical considerations (such as the principles of the 3Rs of animal testing). The adoption of computational toxicology in this field is a high p…

LCA has become an important method to study environmental impacts of human activities. Still, there are several methodological issues in LCA that can adversely affect the results reliability.

The majority (80%) of e-waste generated globally are recycled informally in developing countries.

In this project innovative technology for photovoltaics cells is developed and analysis of ecological and health related risks are explicitly accounted for.

Van het filteren van uv-licht in zonnebrandcrème tot het voorkomen van zweetgeur in sokken en het steriliseren van koelkasten en wasmachines. Steeds vaker gebruiken producenten nanodeeltjes in producten. Maar wat is het effect van deze miniscule deeltjes op het milieu?

We zijn nog onvoldoende in staat om de reikwijdte en impact van cybersecurity vraagstukken te zien, meent professor Bibi van den Berg in een artikel op de website van iBestuur online. Zij pleit voor een bredere focus, bijvoorbeeld door niet alleen systemen maar ook mensen als risicodragers te zien.

The findings in this thesis improve the understanding of 1) the relationship between exposure characteristics and toxicity of ENPs, 2) the joint toxic action of ENP mixtures and the comparison to metal salt mixtures, 3) how NOM affects the individual and joint toxicity of ENPs, 4) the extent of trophic…

Sterven aan een virusinfectie door orgaanuitval en bloedverlies: we weten nog weinig over hoe dat kan. Huaqi Tang ontwikkelde organen-op-chips om het te kunnen achterhalen. ‘Deze technologieën kunnen ongekende mogelijkheden bieden voor de strijd tegen de virussen die onze samenleving bedreigen.’ Tang…
