معرفی
Alvise Vianello is an Associate Professor at the Department of the Built Environment within the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University. His primary affiliation is with the Urban Pollution Research Group and the Division of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He focuses on microplastic pollution, environmental engineering, and water quality assessment.
- Research interests include microplastic distribution in coastal waters, urban runoff management, and their impacts on ecosystems and human health.
- Active in developing analytical tools like the siMPle software for microplastic identification.
- Collaborates internationally, with recent work in Norway, Italy, and the Canary Islands.
His research highlights the prevalence of microplastics in marine environments, including their migration patterns, interactions with organisms, and human exposure pathways. Key areas include tyre wear particles in urban runoff, microplastic accumulation in sediments, and their association with intestinal inflammation biomarkers.
Recent studies emphasize the tripled microplastic deposition on seafloors over two decades and the health risks of airborne microplastics in indoor environments. His work has been covered in over 67 media outlets, underscoring societal relevance.
Grants and collaborations involve environmental agencies and universities, with datasets contributing to open-source research tools. He leads the Urban Pollution Research Group, focusing on interdisciplinary solutions to anthropogenic pollution challenges.
