Summary of the matter addressed in the submission: The Submitter, Mr. Angel Lara García, asserts that the
manufacturing facility of ALCA, S.A. de C.V. releases highly toxic
contaminants into the neighborhood of Santa Isabel Industrial, where Mr.
Lara García lives.
The health and economic effects allegedly attributable to the emissions
produced by the company are cited in the 183 documents submitted by Mr.
Lara García. He claims that the factory should close or relocate since,
"according to environmental standards, which have not been respected, it
is a source of pollutants."
The documents make multiple references to the presence of strong odors
from fuels and solvents. And Mr. Lara García claims that complaints
lodged with the Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente (Federal
Attorney for Environmental Protection) and other agencies have been to
no avail.
