The Ternium Case: A Wake-Up Call (Part 2)

The Ternium Case: A Wake-Up Call (Part 2)

 

When we thought the toxic spill in the La Talaverna stream was an isolated incident, more information began to surface—revealing not an exception, but a disturbing pattern.

Ternium, one of Mexico's largest steel companies, has a record of polluting water sources. Back in January, the company was shut down by PROFEPA in Tlaxcala for illegally discharging wastewater into the Atoyac River—one of the most contaminated rivers in the country. Coincidence? It’s beginning to look more like a recurring problem.

🚨 Public outrage rises: Citizens and lawmakers demand real action

In recent days, pressure has mounted against Ternium. What started as an environmental incident is now a full-blown public health and social justice issue.

  • Civil organizations are calling for the permanent closure of the Ternium plant in Nuevo León.
  • Lawmakers have formally requested the government to analyze relocating the plant outside the metropolitan zone.
  • The state government has confirmed that closure is a viable option if the environmental damage is found to be irreversible.

But here’s the real question:

Is relocating the problem really a solution? Or are we just moving the contamination to another river, another community?

🌊 The water doesn’t stop in Guadalupe

Most people don’t realize this, but the La Talaverna stream eventually flows into El Cuchillo Dam, one of the main water sources for Monterrey and its surrounding area.

What was dismissed as a “localized spill” might, in time, end up in your kitchen faucet.

☣️ Confirmed: Experts warn of serious health risks

According to environmental toxicology experts interviewed by El Horizonte, the spill poses real and immediate health risks for residents near the affected area and potentially anyone exposed downstream.

  • Cellular and liver damage due to exposure to ferrous chloride.
  • Skin, eye, and respiratory irritation from toxic vapors and acidic water.
  • Neurological effects, particularly in children if ingested indirectly.
  • Long-term risks from heavy metal accumulation in the body.

Even without direct water consumption, toxins can still enter the body through skin contact, air, or crops irrigated in nearby areas.

⚠️ This is no longer just an environmental crisis—it’s a public health emergency.
