Distribution of tainted horse and donkey meat to Colombian children.

Radioactive materials in Mexico and the USA
The Ciudad Juarez Cobalt-60 contamination incident was the unintended dispersion of 450 curies of cobalt-60 in 1987 originating in a radio-therapy unit illegally purchased by a private healthcare company in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico which was later disassembled due to a lack of personnel to operate it. The radioactive material eventually made its way to a junkyard, where it was smelted with other metals, which resulted in the production of six thousand tonnes of tainted steel rebar. This material was distributed to 15 states in Mexico as well as other US cities. It is estimated that four thousand people were exposed to radiation as a result of this incident.
