To assess health risks from the presence of storage, treatment, disposal and illegal dumping sites of hazardous and nonhazardous waste, a number of data dating back to period 1997-2003 and coming from various administrations have been implemented in an apposite geo-database. By means of arcGIS software-platform a territorial analysis has been performed in terms of sites and municipalities. As a result, ‘synthetic descriptive indexes’ have been obtained in order to measure position-variability of such sites and of their potential health impact in the Provinces of Naples and Caserta. Our results represent a base for exposure assessment in epidemiological studies now in progress.Indicators of Waste Exposure in an Area of Campania (Southern Italy) Characterized by Numerous Dumping SitesText/Conference Paper
