Journal Article
Tischer, V., Fountas, G., Polette, M., & Rye, T. (2019). Environmental and economic assessment of traffic-related air pollution using aggregate spatial information: A case study of Balneário Camboriú, Brazil. Journal of Transport and Health, 14, Article 100592. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jth.2019.100592

Introduction
Transportation is one of the main determinants of atmospheric pollutant emissions in urban areas. This externality has direct environmental, economic and public health consequences. This paper aims at investigating the space-time patte...

Mangroves are critically threatened by human activities, despite the important ecosystem functions and services they provide. Mangroves in Cameroon represent no exception to the worldwide trend of mangrove destruction, especially around Douala, on th...

Comparative Effects of Di(n-Butyl) Phthalate Exposure on Fetal Germ Cell Development in the Rat and in Human Fetal Testis Xenografts (2014)
Journal Article
van den Driesche, S., McKinnell, C., Calarrão, A., Kennedy, L., Hutchison, G. R., Hrabalkova, L., Jobling, M. S., Macpherson, S., Anderson, R. A., Sharpe, R. M., & Mitchell, R. T. (2015). Comparative Effects of Di(n-Butyl) Phthalate Exposure on Fetal Germ Cell Development in the Rat and in Human Fetal Testis Xenografts. Environmental Health Perspectives, 123(3), 223-230. https://doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1408248

Background: Phthalate exposure induces germ cell effects in the fetal rat testis. Although experimental models have shown that the human fetal testis is insensitive to the steroidogenic effects of phthalates, the effects on germ cells have been less...
