Land of tumors, Naples \u2013 Italia, 2018<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

Samuel Bollendorff<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

For more than two centuries, this region was the heart of the \u201cHappy Campania\u201c. A land of Cocagne, with scandalously fertile lands, where everything grew effortlessly and where life seemed sweeter than elsewhere. But times have changed\u2026 In recent years, the areas of Naples and Caserte provinces has acquired a new nickname, a terrible one: the \u201cLand of Fire\u201c.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every year in the spring, as soon as the heat sets in, we see columns of smoke multiplying in the sky, everywhere in the territory, testifying the fact that, somewhere, spontaneously or not, a wild dump is burning spreading into toxic fumes in the air. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Despite the outbreak of the \u201ceco mafia\u201c  <\/span>scandal in 2000\u2019s and years of local protestation, no one has yet succeed to stem the multiplication of its discharges that pass beyond the control of local authorities and which, in an apparent anarchy, bring together domestic waste, industrial waste or even highly toxic products.    <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For the local population, consequences are terrible. Chronic illnesses, inexplicable cancers affecting sometimes young children, the inhabitants of this region that is one of the poorest in Italy pay a heavy price for the traffic of waste that crushes people at the same time that it mutilates the landscapes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

But in the municipality of Casal di Principe, for years now, the mafia has been incinerating and burying waste that comes from any number of sources. Former members of the Mafia who became informants, the pentiti, have alleged that more than 100,000 tonnes of toxic waste was disposed of in the region between 1991 and 2013. Aluminum dross, flue dust, paint sludge, liquid waste containing heavy metals, asbestos, tannery waste, even atomic waste from nuclear power plants in Germany, Austria and Switzerland are just some of what has been dumped, incinerated and buried in Europe\\u2019s first illegal industrial waste site. Everything runs into the water table and the crops. Six large wastewater treatment plants had been built, but only one was working; the others simply released the untreated water.
