Fire in a landfill near Rome, high risk of dioxin. Municipality: 'Limit travel, wash fruit and vegetables and keep windows closed' The Velletri Prosecutor's Office will open an investigation file in relation to the vast fire that occurred last night in an illegal landfill in the Ardea area near Rome.
According to what was reported by the firefighters, the landfill mainly contains tires and materials of various kinds. The causes of the fire remain unclear. A possible spread of doxin in the air caused by the fire would pose enormous risks to human health, as the carcinogenic and neurotoxic effects of this substance are well known.
