Waste management irregularities in Caivano: plant seized

A waste management plant in Caivano, located in the province of Naples, has been seized by the Carabinieri for serious irregularities in waste management procedures. This plant, which receives waste from multiple municipalities across the provinces of Naples, Caserta, and Salerno, is currently under investigation for potential environmental safety and public health risks. Initial reports indicate that the waste was stored outside the designated area, without the appropriate covers, which exposed the materials to runoff and potentially contaminated the soil and surrounding water. Furthermore, issues have arisen with the treatment of wastewater, which could have severe implications for the environment and public health. The improper treatment and storage of waste can result in increased pollution, which has a direct impact on air and water quality. Furthermore, soil contamination could have a detrimental effect on the local agricultural sector and biodiversity.
