Carbon Tetrachloride violations in New Mexico

3 active public water systems in New Mexico had a Carbon Tetrachloride violation in the past three years. What Carbon Tetrachloride is and why it matters.

Health effects: Carbon tetrachloride is classified by EPA as a probable human carcinogen (Group B2). Chronic exposure causes liver and kidney damage and is associated with liver cancer in animal studies. Acute high-dose exposure causes severe hepatotoxicity — nausea, vomiting, jaundice, and acute liver failure. Communities near contaminated groundwater plumes and historical industrial sites face the greatest long-term risk.

About this data

A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved Carbon Tetrachloride, including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not Carbon Tetrachloride alone.

Source: the U.S. EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online system (ECHO), which publishes the federal Safe Drinking Water Information System. EPA's terms and values are shown as published. The New Mexico records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
