Honey bees are exposed to an array of potentially toxic chemicals, which differ in aspects of
their toxicity as well as their fate in the environment. In Chapter 1 of my thesis, I discuss the …

In 2013, EFSA published a literature review on epidemiological studies linking exposure to
pesticides and human health outcome. As a follow up, the EFSA Panel on Plant Protection …
