Maria Concetta Bruzzoniti

Professor Maria Concetta Bruzzoniti is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Turin. She specializes in Analytical Chemistry and Environmental Chemistry, focusing on pollution monitoring, wastewater treatment technologies, and sustainable materials. Her research addresses microplastic contamination, organic micropollutant determination, and biochar applications in environmental remediation.

Her work spans multiple disciplines including water reuse in agriculture, pharmaceutical compound removal in wetlands, and risk assessment of toxic substances like hexavalent chromium in consumer products. She collaborates on projects involving innovative analytical methods (e.g., QuEChERS, IC-MS/MS) and advanced materials like polymer-derived aerogels for contaminant removal.

Key research areas include:

• Development of eco-friendly sorbents for water treatment
• Environmental impact of treated wastewater on crops
• Microplastic contamination in food chains
• Characterization of biochar properties for filtration systems

Her articles highlight advancements in analytical protocols for perfluoroalkyl acids, glyphosate herbicide adsorption, and optimization of extraction techniques for diverse matrices. Research consistently integrates sustainability and circular economy principles, addressing both technical and environmental challenges in contemporary chemistry.
