Symptoms and cognitive functions in adolescents in relation to mobile phone use during night (Publications)
Many adolescents tend to leave their mobile phones turned on during night, accepting that they may be awakened by an incoming text message or call. Using self-reported and objective operator recorded
A model for radiofrequency electromagnetic field predictions at outdoor and indoor locations in the context of epidemiological research (Publications)
We present a geospatial model to predict the radiofrequency electromagnetic field from fixed site transmitters for use in epidemiological exposure assessment. The proposed model extends an existing mo
Fine particulate matter measurements in Swiss restaurants, cafés and bars: What is the effect of spatial separation between smoking and non-smoking... (Publications)
We performed 124 measurements of particulate matter (PM(2.5)) in 95 hospitality venues such as restaurants, bars, cafes, and a disco, which had differing smoking regulations. We evaluated the impact o
Effect modification of immunoglobulin E-mediated atopy and rhinitis by glutathione S-transferase genotypes in passive smokers (Publications)
Background Experimental studies suggest that glutathione S-transferase (GST) genotypes modify nasal allergen responses induced by secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure. Objective We aimed to investigate whe
Quantitative microbial risk assessment related to urban wastewater and lagoon water reuse in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
We assessed the infection risks related to the use of wastewater in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, by using quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA). Giardia lamblia and Escherichia coli were isolated a
Prevalence of age-related hearing loss in Europe: a review (Publications)
Populations are becoming progressively older thus presenting symptoms of diminished organ function due to degenerative processes. These may be physiological or caused by additional factors damaging th
Enterobiasis and strongyloidiasis and associated co-infections and morbidity markers in infants, preschool- and school-aged children from rural... (Publications)
BackgroundThere is a paucity of data pertaining to the epidemiology and public health impact of Enterobius vermicularis and Strongyloides stercoralis infections. We aimed to determine the extent of en
Effects of everyday radiofrequency electromagnetic-field exposure on sleep quality: a cross-sectional study (Publications)
Abstract The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between exposure to various sources of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMFs) in the everyday environment and
