LOPEZ NARANJO, Diego  y  LUYANDO CUEVAS, José Raúl. The effects of oil pollution in the development of Ejidal Communities: the case of the San Juan river basin (Nuevo León, Mexico). Investig. desarro. [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.1, pp.92-124. ISSN 0121-3261.

The present investigation analyzes, in several ejidos, the social, economic and ecological effects caused by the oil spill in the San Juan River (Nuevo León, Mexico). To this end, surveys were conducted among the settlers and interviews with key actors. The results of the investigation indicate that, above all, the social problems caused by the disaster are little valued and taken care of by the perpetrator and neglected by the State. The shows the unconsciousness or corruption of the Government to internalize the social costs caused by the production of a product that at the time was a monopoly of the State and, therefore, should benefit the entire population.

Palabras clave : Oil spill; river; social deterioration; environmental disaster; health.
