Chimney stoves modestly improved indoor air quality measurements compared with traditional open fire stoves: resulty from a small-scale intervention... (Publications)
Nearly half of the world's population depends on biomass fuels to meet domestic energy needs, producing high levels of pollutants responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality. We compare carbon
Diarrhoea, vomiting and the role of milk consumption: perceived and identified risk in Bamako (Mali) (Publications)

Cytokine gene polymorphisms and atopic disease in two European cohorts. (ECRHS-Basel and SAPALDIA) (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Atopy and allergic phenotypes are biologically characterized by an imbalanced T helper cell response skewed towards a type 2 (TH2) immune response associated with elevated serum immunoglob
Intake fraction distributions for indoor VOC sources in five European cities (Publications)
Distributions of intake fractions for indoor air emissions were estimated for five cities in the EXPOLIS study (Athens, Basel, Helsinki, Oxford, and Prague). Intake fractions are an expression of the
Source apportionment of population representative samples of PM2.5 in three European cities using structural equation modelling (Publications)
Apportionment of urban particulate matter (PM) to sources is central for air quality management and efficient reduction of the substantial public health risks associated with fine particles (PM(2.5)).
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> centromeres display a unique epigenetic makeup and cluster prior to and during schizogony (Publications)
Centromeres are essential for the faithful transmission of chromosomes to the next generation, therefore being essential in all eukaryotic organisms. The centromeres of Plasmodium falciparum, the caus
