In New Mexico, disproportionate dumping, storing, and producing hazardous materials has caused toxic air, land and water which have increased the risk of health problems and shorter life spans.

Hispanic populations are more likely to live near hazardous landfill sites, and African American populations are more likely to live near industrial facilities and uncontrolled toxic waste sites. Native American lands have been a place where high levels of radioactive materials have been dumped. The definition of environmental racism is defined as the placement of hazardous materials in areas of high minority individuals or economically destitute populations.
