Occurrence of greenhouse gases in the aquifers of the Walloon Region (Belgium) [PDF]

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2018
This work aims to (1) identify the most conductive conditions for the generation of greenhouses gases (GHGs) in groundwater (e.g., hydrogeological contexts and geochemical processes) and (2) evaluate the indirect emissions of GHGs from groundwater at a regional scale in Wallonia (Belgium).

High radon areas in the Walloon region of Belgium

open access: yesRadiation Protection Dosimetry, 2015
Indoor radon data from Southern Belgium are organised in 35 geological units (GUs), most of which are homogeneous with respect to the radon risk. The percentage of cases above the reference level (400 Bq m(-3); 300 Bq m(-3) in the future) is calculated for these GUs from the observations and from the log-normal distribution fitted to the data.

Variability of MIR predicted cheese yield in Walloon Region of Belgium

open access: yes, 2016
Economically, cheese yield is very important. At the level of cheese manufacturers, an improvement of cheese yield by 1% increases the benefit without increasing milk consumption. Recently, methods to predict cheese yield based on the mid infrared (MIR) spectrum were described.

Recreational value of regional forests: the case of Belgium's Walloon region

International Journal of Sustainable Society, 2014
The Walloon forest 1 , which is geographically close to densely populated areas of Atlantic Europe, fulfils an important recreational function. Two surveys were set up, among which a large-scale statistical survey in 40 woodlands, distributed throughout the Walloon forest and resulting in over 4,000 questionnaires collected.

In VitroAnticancer Potential of Tree Extracts from the Walloon Region Forest

Planta Medica, 2009
Forty-eight extracts from 16 common Belgian trees from the Walloon Region forest were evaluated for in vitro growth inhibitory activity against the human LoVo colon cancer, PC3 prostate cancer, and U373 glioblastoma cell lines. Our study was performed with the aim of selecting plant candidates in order to later isolate new anticancer compounds from an ...

Statistical analysis of indoor radon data for the Walloon region (Belgium)

Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids, 2009
Two databases of indoor radon measurements in the Walloon region in Belgium can be used to establish a radon risk map of this region, taking into account the geological information. The data were collected, respectively, by long-term track-etch measurements and by short-term charcoal measurements.
