Mauro MASIOL

Mauro MASIOL is an Associate Professor at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, affiliated with the Department of Environmental Sciences, Computer Science and Statistics. His research focuses on geochemistry, atmospheric science, and environmental pollution, particularly particulate matter (PM) sources, air quality, and isotopic analysis of precipitation. He has contributed to studies on air pollution in urban and industrial areas, including the Veneto region and New York State, analyzing trends, health impacts, and policy effectiveness. He is involved in the Research Institute for Green and Blue Growth and leads laboratory activities related to environmental chemistry and aerosol research.

Key research areas include source apportionment of PM2.5, atmospheric dispersion dynamics, and climate-related isotopic patterns. His work spans transboundary pollution, aviation emissions, and health effects of air pollutants. He collaborates internationally on projects addressing biomass burning, aerosol aging, and environmental monitoring.

Publications highlight contributions to understanding wintertime PM2.5 in Alpine valleys, spatial trends of precipitation isotopes, and hybrid mass closure methods in the Po Valley. He has also explored long-term changes in air quality policies and economic influences on pollution levels in New York.
