Odors reported in Brianza municipalities trigger environmental investigation

Residents in the Brianza region of Italy are reporting widespread unpleasant odors, with complaints extending to the municipality of Cogliate. This follows previous reports of similar issues in Ceriano Laghetto and Solaro.

Local authorities in Cogliate state that the odors likely originate from outside their municipal borders, limiting their ability to intervene directly at the source. The mayor has contacted relevant agencies to investigate. Residents are being urged to use the Arpa Lombardia reporting system to document the type of smell, the time of occurrence, the specific location, and current weather conditions to assist technical experts in identifying the source.

Preliminary investigations have focused on the industrial area of via Milano, specifically near Villaggio Brollo. Residents have described various scents, including those resembling bitumen or burnt plastic. Technical verifications are ongoing to confirm the exact origin of these emissions.
