The present report up-to-dates epidemiological surveillance in 55 municipalities of Campania Region, defined by the Italian Law 6/2014 as “Land of Fires”, completed by law (May 2014). The epidemiological profile of populations resident in these municipalities is characterized by a series of excesses in mortality, cancer incidence and hospitalization for several diseases with a multifactorial etiology, that include among their ascertained or suspected risk factors exposure to environmental contaminants that can be emitted or released by uncontrolled hazardous waste dumping sites and combustion of both urban and hazardous waste. As far as children health is concerned, some critical aspects must be considered, namely excesses of children hospitalized in the first year of life for all cancers, and children hospitalized for brain cancer both in the first year of life and in the 0-14 age class. Data inspection by municipality of residence has detected some locations where specific observations requiring further and urgent in-depth analyses have been uncovered.
Key words: Uncontrolled waste management; Waste combustion; Epidemiological surveillance
