Professional profile

Giovanni Binato has collaborated with the Chemistry Department of the Istituto Zooprofilattico delle Venezie since 1991. He was hired indefinitely as chemical manager in 1999 and is currently Head of the Contaminants and biomonitoring laboratory.
He graduated in 1991 in Pharmaceutical chemistry and technology from the University of Ferrara. In the same year he obtained his licence to practice pharmacy. Degree in 1996 in Chemistry and Food Technology at the University of Bologna.

He works at the management of the control of contamination levels of certain organic (chlorinated pesticides, phosphorus, pyrethroids and persistent organic contaminants such as PCBs) and inorganic (heavy metals, trace elements) contaminants of food of animal origin and feed for livestock use, in accordance with institutional control and research activities (programmed control plans and special Regional and Ministerial monitoring plans). The laboratory also manages toxicological investigations based on analytical controls to ascertain the cause of death of animals (pets, food-producing animals and wildlife), the presence of toxic substances in samples of bait/food morsels suspected to have been poisoned, and autopsy reports, providing analytical support for veterinary diagnostics.

He has collaborated with laboratories internal and external to the Istituto Zooprofilattico (University of Padua, National Institute of Health, National Institute for Prevention and Environmental Research) in monitoring organic and inorganic contaminants in biota, as part of research projects and scientific collaborations. In the field of toxicology, he collaborates with the Forensic toxicology reference Centre of the Istituto Zooprofilattico of Lazio and Tuscany – Grosseto.
