Sunland Park, an area in New Mexico with a large Latino population, has been found to have a substance in its water that makes it undrinkable. As death tolls become alarming, residents are demanding for a health assessment in their communities.
Arsenic is a natural, semi metallic element that grows naturally in the soil of New Mexico. In water, the substance has no taste, odor or color. But, over time, it can cause a variety of health problems, including cancer, diabetes and heart disease, according to a new report by The Washington Post.
