Risk communication about particulate matter in the workplace: A digital experiment

T.A.M. Stege (Onderzoeker); J.F.B. (John) Bolte (Lector); L. Claassen (Onderzoeker); D.R.M. Timmermans (Onderzoeker)

Workers do not always showcase adequate knowledge on potential long-term health effects and other properties of particulate matter (PM), which may lead to a decreased tendency to work safely in a high-PM environment. To empower workers to work more safely in environments with high PM exposure, we developed …

Comparing activity trackers to investigate physical activity: balancing quality, costs, and usability

Sigrid van Hoek (Onderzoeker); Dick Windmeijer Windmeijer (Onderzoeker); Annemieke Luiten (Onderzoeker); J.F.B. (John) Bolte (Lector); Barry Schouten (Onderzoeker)

This paper reports on the first stage of a research project1) that aims to incorporate objective measures of physical activity into health and lifestyle surveys. Physical activity is typically measured with questionnaires that are known to have measurement issues, and specifically, overestimate the amount …

The full potential of predictive maintenance has not yet been utilised. Current solutions focus on individual steps of the predictive maintenance cycle and only work for very specific settings. The overarching challenge of predictive maintenance is to leverage these individual building blocks to obtain …

Electromagnetic field exposure in power plants

Thomas A. M. Stege; J.F.B. (John) Bolte (Lector); Liesbeth Claassen; Danielle R. M. Timmermans

Electromagnetic fields, or EMF, are ubiquitous in our daily life. Extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF MF) are generated by any device using electric current. Especially in workplace situations involving MRI scanners, welding equipment, induction heaters, and power plants, they are known for …

Ecological momentary assessment study of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and non-specific physical symptoms with self-declared electrosensitives

J.F.B. (John) Bolte (Lector); Sander Clahse; W. Vercruijsse; Jan H. Houtveen; C. Maarten A. Schipper; Irene van Kamp; Rik Bogers

The main objective of the study is to determine if non-specific physical symptoms (NSPS) in people with self-declared sensitivity to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) can be explained (across subjects) by exposure to RF EMF. Furthermore, we pioneered whether analysis at the individual level …

Particulate matter exposure in roadwork companies

Thomas A. M. Stege; J.F.B. (John) Bolte (Lector); L. Claassen; Danielle R. M. Timmermans

Particulate matter (PM) exposure, amongst others caused by emissions and industrial processes, is an important source of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. There are situations in which blue-collar workers in roadwork companies are at risk. This study investigated perceptions of risk and mitigation …
