US uses Mexico as 'garbage sink', led to 'toxic crisis': UN expert

Mexico is facing a "toxic crisis" and has become a "garbage sink" for the US, exposing Mexican communities to dangerous pollution, a UN expert warned. An 11-day investigation found 1,000 contaminated locations, many of which had become "sacrifice zones", where diseases such as cancer and medical events such as miscarriages were normalised. The expert called it "legalised poisoning of people".
