Jules Kerckhoffs

Jules is a Postdoc at the Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences (IRAS) of Utrecht University, focusing on collecting, mapping and predicting concentrations of air pollutants.

His PhD was about analyzing the possibilities to create (Dutch) air pollution LUR models based on measurements collected with a mobile platform. The results of this are described in his thesis. Later, his PhD also involved the Google Air View project, where Google Streetview cars were equipped with air quality instruments and drove extensively in Amsterdam and Copenhagen.

Decoding the exposome

Decoding the exposome

The environment we live in has a dominant impact on our health. It explains an estimated seventy percent of the chronic disease burden. Where we live, what we eat, how much we exercise, the air we breathe and whom we associate with; all of these environmental factors play a role. The combination of these factors over the life course is called the exposome. There is general (scientific) consensus that understanding more about the exposome will help explain the current burden of disease and that it provides entry points for prevention and ...
