About
Marco Nestola is a leading analytical chemist whose research focuses on the development of high-throughput, sensitive methods for the trace analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in biological and environmental matrices. His major contributions center on advancing on-line solid-phase extraction coupled with large-volume injection gas chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry (SPE-LVI-GC-HRMS), enabling the detection of polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides in minute sample volumes. His seminal 2013 paper on this technique, cited 37 times, demonstrated a breakthrough in reducing sample preparation time and solvent consumption while achieving exceptional sensitivity, making it a benchmark for human biomonitoring studies. Nestola’s work has been instrumental in supporting epidemiological research and regulatory monitoring by providing robust, cost-effective tools for assessing human exposure to legacy contaminants. His innovative methods have been adopted by laboratories worldwide, underscoring his impact on environmental health sciences. Through his meticulous approach to analytical validation and automation, Nestola has significantly improved the feasibility of large-scale population studies, cementing his reputation as a pioneer in high-throughput trace analysis.
