Sarno River faces environmental concerns in Scafati

Residents in Scafati have reported significant environmental degradation in the Sarno River, specifically noting a thick layer of white foam on the water's surface. The phenomenon is accompanied by an intense, unpleasant odor that has reportedly forced local families to keep their doors and windows closed to avoid the smell.

Local citizens have alerted the Carabinieri and ARPAC, requesting urgent inspections to determine the origin of the foam. There is growing suspicion among residents that the pollution may be linked to irregular industrial discharges, potentially coinciding with the start of the tomato processing season. Authorities will need to conduct water sampling and analysis to identify the substances present and verify if any illegal dumping has occurred.
