Surviving Oxford Road
Here’s a confession…I cycle. That’s just what I do. It’s probably genetic, given that I am Dutch, so I cannot help it. I also cycle in Manchester; very stereotypical according to my friends, and also not one of my brightest ideas apparently. To date I have only been run over once, avoided a handful of […]
What I think they mean…
April 6, 2012
I have been dubbing whether to call this post “Conspiracy theories” or “US vs. UK”, but decided in the end to call it “What I think they mean…”. Nonetheless, we are talking science with a dose of us vs. them and if you want to believe, conspiracy at international level as well – yes, we […]
The danger of exposure to too much stuff
March 2, 2012
So how do we know which exposures are harmful for humans? Obviously, if we, generally by accident, get exposed to extremely high concentrations of some toxic substance and die immediately, or within a very short period after, it is fairly easy to deduce a causal relation. But how about much lower doses, or when the […]

Cardiovascular effects and air pollution….or is it just noise??
June 13, 2011
Very often, when there is noise there is air pollution and vice versa, air pollution from traffic (and for example building sites) goes hand in hand with noise. An interesting Commentary in the January (yes, I am slightly behind with reading) 2011 issue of the journal Environmental Research (here) discusses the correlation between the two […]
