Industrial facilities close to the San Juan river.
The San Juan River in Queretaro State is highly
contaminated and receives discharges from several industries like Kaltex and Kimberly Clark. Greenpeace took samples at the Kaltex discharge pipe and found evidence of the presence of toxic chemicals into the water such as phthalates and TMDD. Kaltex is one of the biggest textile groups in Mexico and has offices and activities in other countries in Latin America as well as in Europe.
