In Southern Italy, the illegal dumping of industrial toxic waste has become a big business for the Naples mafia. As the trade continues, the environment continues to suffer and the death toll rises.

"In Acerra, people have been dying for over 20 years. They don't even live to 50", says one woman. In the Campania region some of the most polluted areas are being used for agriculture and grazing, allowing highly toxic compounds like dioxin to enter the food chain. "My daughter has already had three high-risk pregnancies and one miscarriage", says a father who is forced to live 700 meters from toxic garbage bales. Almost a million tons of rubbish are stockpiled throughout the region and behind it all is the largest criminal organization in Italy, the Neopolitan Camorra. A culture of illegality within industry and the inability of the authorities to curb the mafia's influence means that little is being done to halt this deadly toxic trade.

@NMWMN Italy has some of the lowest birthrates not just in Europe, but the whole world. Less than 2 children per woman in Italy, which means they will experience significant decreases in population within the upcoming decade or two. Overpopulation is definitely not the problem in this specific instance. Corruption and crime within Italian leadership is the problem.

I WILL NEVER VISIT ITALY,BECAUSE THIS SHITTY COUNTRY IS FULL OF ROMANIANS.ROMANIANS ARE GYPSIES,SO,THEY RUIN ITALY,ROME AND ALL ITALIAN CITIES.THERE ARE MANY GYPSY CAMPS THERE. ITALIAN PEOPLE ARE VERY STUPID,THEY SHOULD CHASE THEM AND KILL THEM,ITALIANS DEFINETLY SHOULD DEFEND THEIR COUNTRY AGAINST ROMANIANS INVASIONS.

ROMANIANS ARE FILTHY,RUDE,UGLY.ROMANIAN WOMEN ARE PROSTITUTES,YOU CAN MEET THEM IN EVERY ITALIAN CITY.THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.9O% OF PROSTITUTES IN ITALY ARE FROM Romania.
