The first phase of the Acerra Regional Waste-to-Energy Observatory's activities has concluded, and the Municipality has achieved a significant political and institutional result. The final report, shared by all members of the body and intended to guide future decisions by the Campania Region, fully incorporates the proposals put forward by the Acerra municipal administration, represented within the Observatory by Mayor Tito d'Errico.
This step, the mayor calls crucial for environmental and health protection. "The report fully incorporates all the proposals put forward by the Municipality of Acerra. The available environmental data requires a more thorough analysis of the aspects relating to environmental protection and public health. The precautionary principle dictates the need to take immediate action to protect the population," states d'Errico.

The document outlines a clear direction: strengthen air quality monitoring through an independent body, expand environmental monitoring parameters, intensify soil metal testing, and strengthen health screenings, expanding them by age group and disease type. Beyond the technical aspects, the report also emphasizes the importance of a communications campaign aimed at health prevention and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.
The mayor of Acerra thanked the Observatory's president, Stefano Sorvino, and all its members for their "deep commitment and the important joint work accomplished," expressing confidence that the Campania Region, as the owner of the plant, will implement the recommendations made. "The shared goal must remain the protection of the environment and the health of citizens," emphasized d'Errico. The Regional Environmental Observatory's report on the Acerra waste-to-energy plant is now available on the Municipality's official website, marking a new step in a discussion that remains central to the region and the entire metropolitan area.

The final report on the Acerra Waste-to-Energy Observatory is interesting, but many issues have not been adequately addressed. The administration's proposals are good, but more clarity is needed regarding how they will be implemented. In particular, air quality must be a top priority, because citizens' health is fundamental. We must ensure that all proposed measures are followed up with concrete and measurable actions.
