Environmental problems

Every year in Italy, due to fires, hectares of forest are destroyed, consequently oxygen reduces and animals die. If you want to report a forest fire, please call 1515 the State Forestry Corps.

The deforestation is the removal of trees that is not accompanied by a sufficient regeneration.The deforestation increase CO2 in the atmosphere and causes the greenhouse effect and the global warming. The negative effects of deforestation are numerous and include also desertification in dry areas, erosion, landslides and mudslides in the rainy and hilly areas and contamination of aquatic systems (due to the leaching of water).

Herbicides, insecticides, fertilizers, waste and industrial waste, if they are not biologically degradable, remain in the ground. These substances are generally toxic and change the soil. They can also enter the human food chain as well as polluting the groundwater. The effects of this pollution may occur even after many years. These substances pollute the soil and the agricultural products, ingested by animals and, transported by waters and rivers, reach the sea and are also ingested by fish, contaminating the entire food chain.
