In the heart of Naucalpan De Juarez, Mexico, there is a critical problem. Used batteries from the United States are sent here for lead mining. Simply put, what is happening here is just another example of America destroying other areas of the world, relieving us of any burden and placing it on others. Why is this so bad, you ask? This toxic and disastrous lead is found in the air, on the ground, and even in the bodies of Mexican residents due to faulty smokestacks, which emit 20 times more chemicals than allowed by law. It is no coincidence that Mexico was chosen for this deadly project. Here, standards reach the bare minimum and what little exists is so poorly enforced by law officials that it is almost ignored. This means that these extraction facilities can continue as they wish without any restrictions or risk of prosecution. One of the heads of the Mexican police department admitted that this area “lacks the money, manpower and technical capacity to police this sector,” making Mexico the ideal place to host an illegal enterprise like this. And don't think for a moment that this hasn't been exploited. One of the only requirements established in 2010 is that all exporters count the number of batteries sent abroad. Seven out of ten companies did not comply and (unsurprisingly) did not receive any compensation. Furthermore, the integrity of those who participated cannot be guaranteed. Another factor supporting why this specific location was chosen for this dilemma is the abundance of extreme desperation among the citizens of the cities. Even though wages are low and conditions are almost suicidal, workers consider life in this plant their only opportunity. rural and underpopulated areas. This problem currently exists because the facility is located on the same block as an elementary school and several group homes. However, if it were located in an area where few people live, then fewer members of society might be affected due to the distance between them and the source of the issue under discussion. If no changes are made to Mexico's crude battery lead mining methods, not only will deforestation in Naucalpan reach the point of ceasing to exist, but the entire wild population will be endangered, residents will eventually migrate due to the drastic rate of disease. This will bring a lifeless and barren city, creating a domino effect across the globe and traveling through the future contaminated waters of the Atlantic Ocean..
