根據4個在祕魯、阿根廷、美國等地的公共衛生與環境組織指出，祕魯政府因缺乏有效作為，無法制止多元金屬冶鍊場在祕魯安地斯山區的拉歐羅亞（La Oroya）小鎮所引起的健康問題。
該些組織已經偕同位於美國華盛頓特區美洲國家組織（OAS）的人權部門提出請願書，希望尋求建議，以促使祕魯政府能執行緊急措施，制止金屬冶鍊場對拉歐羅亞居民健康與生命的嚴重傷害。
而各大環境與人權組織也指出，最近由美國多伊蘭公司（Doe Run）所監測的空氣品質顯示，每日的二氧化硫平均值介於80到300之間；於此，公共衛生與環境組織則表示，這是世界衛生組織所允許最大值的好幾倍。
The Peruvian government has done too little to halt contamination from a multi-metal smelter that is causing health problems in La Oroya, a mining town in the Peruvian Andes, according to four public health and environmental organizations in Peru, Argentina and the United States.
The organizations have filed a petition with the Human Rights Division of the Organization of American States in Washington, DC seeking a recommendation that "the Peruvian government implement urgent measures to halt the grave violations against the health and lives of the citizens of La Oroya."
The environmental and human rights groups point out that recent monitoring of air quality performed by Doe Run itself shows that daily average sulfur dioxide levels are between 80 and 300, times the maximum level permitted by the World Health Organization, the public health and environmental groups say.
