The early development of wheeze: environmental determinants and genetic susceptibility at 17q21 (Publications)
Rationale Growing up on farms protects from childhood asthma and early wheeze. Virus-triggered wheeze in infancy predicts asthma in individuals with genetic asthma risk associated with chromosome 17q2
Spatial and temporal associations of road traffic noise and air pollution in London: implications for epidemiological studies (Publications)
Road traffic gives rise to noise and air pollution exposures, both of which are associated with adverse health effects especially for cardiovascular disease, but mechanisms may differ. Understanding t
Antitumoral and antileishmanial dioncoquinones and ancistroquinones from cell cultures of <em>Triphyophyllum peltatum</em> (Dioncophyllaceae) and... (Publications)
From the methanolic extracts of solid callus cultures from two species of the closely related palaeotropical plant families Dioncophyllaceae and Ancistrocladaceae seven new natural naphthoquinones wer
Use of portable exposure meters for comparing mobile phone base station radiation in different types of areas in the cities of Basel and Amsterdam (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) are highly variable and differ considerably within as well as between areas. Exposure assessment studies characterizing spatial and temporal
Oral health improvements in Switzerland over 20 years (Publications)
While the time trends in oral health are favourable, differences still persist in dental status and in prosthetic dental restorations (PDR) between population subgroups. This study aimed to identify c
Radio-frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure levels in different European outdoor urban environments in comparison with regulatory limits (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Concerns of the general public about potential adverse health effects caused by radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) led authorities to introduce precautionary exposure limits,
Impact of one's own mobile phone in stand-by mode on personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure (Publications)
When moving around, mobile phones in stand-by mode periodically send data about their positions. The aim of this paper is to evaluate how personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) measure
