Giuseppa Toscano

Giuseppa Toscano is a retired University Researcher at Ca' Foscari University of Venice in the Department of Environmental Sciences. She specializes in Analytical Chemistry with a focus on environmental matrices, particularly trace metals in marine and atmospheric systems. Her work spans Antarctic studies, Venice Lagoon pollution, and plant stress responses. She holds a PhD from Ca' Foscari and has collaborated on projects like CORILA and Antarctic research programs.

• Education: PhD in Analytical and Environmental Chemistry (Ca' Foscari, 1989), Laurea in Chemistry (University of Catania, 1985).
• Research Interests: Development of analytical methods for trace metals, environmental pollution dynamics, and biogeochemical cycles.

Her research highlights include studies on cadmium, lead, and copper complexation in Antarctic and Mediterranean waters, as well as atmospheric particulate analysis in Venice. She has led projects on pollution fluxes and participated in Antarctic campaigns. Teaching includes Analytical Chemistry Laboratory courses.

Grants include the Ecomobility project (Interreg V Italy-Croatia) and ICCC (MIUR). Collaborators include Gabriele Capodaglio and Andrea Gambaro, with a focus on environmental chemistry and risk assessment.
