A waste recycling plant in Milan is on fire, air quality tests and the warning: Limit air conditioning The video

An industrial fire broke out at a waste recycling facility in Novate Milanese, Italy, around 5 AM on Tuesday, July 28. The blaze engulfed both buildings used by A2A for storing and processing paper, cardboard, plastic, and tires. One person was reported to have been poisoned by the smoke, while a thick black plume with a pungent odor was visible for several kilometers. Air quality tests conducted by ARPA (Regional Environmental Protection Agency) showed no critical levels of pollutants in nearby residential areas, though typical combustion byproducts were detected. Authorities advised residents living near the site to keep windows closed and avoid using air conditioning units that draw in outside air. Firefighters worked throughout the morning to contain the flames, which affected more than half of the recycling area, primarily impacting stacks of paper. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Fire at a waste disposal plant in Milan

Un incendio è scoppiato alle prime ore del mattino a Novate Milanese, in Lombardia, all'interno di una ricicleria di rifiuti. L'evento ha coinvolto rifiuti di diversi tipi contenuti in un singolo capannone, causando la formazione di una nuvola nera di fumo con odore acre. Il custode, un uomo di 55 anni, è stato ricoverato in ospedine per intossicazione e ustioni leggere. I vigili del fuoco, impiegati con 12 mezzi, hanno quasi del tutto circoscrivuto le fiamme e inizieranno presto le operazioni di bonifica. Secondo i tecnici dell'Arpa, non sono state rilevate sostanze inquinanti nei primi rilievi, ma rimangono alcuni focolai nell'area. Le cause dell'incendio non sono ancora chiare.
