Jan Baas

Jan Baas is a researcher at Wageningen University & Research, focusing on environmental risk assessment and pesticide toxicity. His work bridges ecotoxicology and modeling to understand invertebrate responses to chemicals.

• Active Fields: Environmental Toxicology, Pollinator Health, Dynamic Energy Budget Modeling
• Collaborations: A. Huang, D. Belgers, I. Roessink

Research spans pesticide effects on solitary bees, sublethal impacts on aquatic organisms, and integrating exposure routes into a unified framework. His dynamic energy budget (DEB) models address temperature dependencies and chemical interactions.

Recent publications emphasize neonicotinoid insecticides (clothianidin, imidacloprid) and organophosphates (dimethoate). Studies compare bee species sensitivity, evaluate standardized protocols, and model acute-chronic toxicity relationships.

Collaborative work includes datasets on imidacloprid effects on Gammarus pulex and policy-relevant extrapolations for pesticide regulation.
