Environmental concerns in the Campania region have centered on industrial fires and ongoing monitoring efforts. Following a major warehouse fire in the Nuova delle Brecce area on the outskirts of Naples, the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection (ARPAC) initiated impact assessments. Due to the likely combustion of plastic, authorities installed samplers to monitor airborne dioxins and advised residents to keep windows closed and wash produce thoroughly.

In related developments, monitoring has continued for a separate fire in the Airola industrial area that occurred in late August. Additionally, local officials in Santa Maria a Vico have engaged with the Campania Regional Council to address environmental and health concerns regarding the Durazzano quarry, requesting a verification of authorizations issued since 2009.
