Land Of Fires

This photo taken on September 8, 2019 shows a former abandoned quarry placed under judicial seizure because it was used to dump toxic waste in Caserta. The 'Terra dei Fuochi' is an area of the Campania region located between Naples and Caserta, which has been marked as such by toxic waste fires and the triggering of waste fires that have had a strong impact on the health of the local population. The Public Prosecutor's Office of Naples North (judicial headquarters in Aversa) with the Istituto Superiore di Sanit has confirmed the conclusive report on the relationship between the presence of uncontrolled landfills on the territory of municipalities in the provinces of Naples and Caserta included in the so-called 'Terra dei Fuochi' and the onset of certain diseases, such as breast cancer, asthma, various forms of leukaemia and congenital malformations.
