Industrial odor investigation in Lombardy

Overview

Residents in the Villaggio Brollo area, affecting the municipalities of Ceriano Laghetto and Solaro, have reported unpleasant odors in recent weeks. Arpa Lombardia has responded to these reports by scheduling field inspections and planning to activate the ‘Tavolo Tecnico MOLF’ to identify the source of the olfactory nuisances. While Arpa monitors environmental aspects, the agency clarified that health-related matters fall under the jurisdiction of ATS.

Authorities in the Monza and Brianza province have launched an institutional monitoring plan involving local municipalities, the Provincial Police, the Fire Brigade, and Arpa Lombardia. This plan aims to address recurring reports affecting several municipalities, including Saronno, Limbiate, Cesate, and Cogliate. Officials have identified the industrial area of Ceriano Laghetto as the primary geographic focus, noting that the varying character of the odors suggests multiple possible sources rather than a single entity. To prevent reactive-only responses, authorities are implementing a structured, long-term monitoring system that cross-references citizen reports with meteorological conditions.

In Ceriano Laghetto, the political group Lega has officially requested Mayor Massimiliano Occa to convene an open city council meeting to address the ongoing issues. This request follows technical meetings and spontaneous protests by local residents. The group proposed holding an extraordinary session at the Centro Civico in via Dante to allow residents, experts, and committees to contribute directly to the discussion. While investigations continue, Arpa has issued a note indicating that a specific company has been identified as a possible cause of the emissions.
