Chiarafrancesca RIGO

Chiarafrancesca RIGO is a Researcher at the Department of Molecular Sciences and Nanosystems, affiliated with Ca' Foscari University of Venice. Her work focuses on environmental chemistry, heavy metal contamination, and remediation strategies in coastal ecosystems.

Her research investigates arsenic speciation in marine organisms like mussels and clams, phytoremediation using Pteris vittata, and metal bioaccumulation in lagoon environments. She collaborates on interdisciplinary studies addressing pollution in the Venice Lagoon and waste site characterization.

Her recent publications highlight trends in environmental risk assessment, analytical methodologies for contaminant detection, and ecosystem impacts of industrial waste. She has presented findings at international conferences on arsenic, biogeochemistry, and ecological planning.

Key collaborators include E. Argese, S. Bedini, and other environmental scientists. Her work integrates analytical chemistry, ecotoxicology, and ecosystem management to address urban and marine pollution challenges.
