    By 2030, more than 80% of Europe's population will live in an urban environment. The urban exposome, consisting of factors such as where we live and work, where and what we eat, our social network, and what chemical and ...
  • ExpoApp: an integrated system to assess multiple personal environmental exposures
    Donaire González, David; Valentín, Antònia; van Nunen, Erik; Curto Tirado, Ariadna, 1987-; Rodriguez, Albert; Fernandez-Nieto, Mario; Naccarati, Alessio; Tarallo, Sonia; Tsai, Ming-Yi; Probst-Hensch, Nicole; Vermeulen, Roel; Hoek, Gerard; Vineis, Paolo; Gulliver, John; Nieuwenhuijsen, Mark J. (Elsevier, 2019)
    To assess environmental exposures at the individual level, new assessment methods and tools are required. We developed an exposure assessment system (ExpoApp) for smartphones. ExpoApp integrates: (i) geo-location and ...
  • Exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and childhood, and white matter microstructure in preadolescents
    Lubczyńska, Małgorzata Joanna, 1984-; Muetzel, Ryan L.; El Marroun, Hanan; Basagaña Flores, Xavier; Strak, Maciej; Denault, William; Jaddoe, Vincent W. V.; Hillegers, Manon; Vernooij, Meike W.; Hoek, Gerard; White, Tonya; Brunekreef, Bert; Tiemeier, Henning; Guxens Junyent, Mònica (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), 2020)
    Background: Air pollution has been related to brain structural alterations, but a relationship with white matter microstructure is unclear. Objectives: We assessed whether pregnancy and childhood exposures to air pollution ...
  • Exposure to elemental composition of outdoor PM2.5 at birth and cognitive and psychomotor function in childhood in four European birth cohorts
    Lubczyńska, Małgorzata Joanna, 1984-; Sunyer Deu, Jordi; Tiemeier, Henning; Porta, Daniela; Kasper-Sonnenberg, Monika; Jaddoe, Vincent W.
