EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) has issued a health advisory to hunters or anyone who consumed or captured wildlife between 2010 and 2024 from Holloman Lake near Alamogordo, New Mexico.

Holloman Lake, located near Alamogordo, serves as the wastewater reservoir for Holloman Air Force Base.

This follows a new environmental report revealing record-breaking levels of contamination of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) concentrations in plants and wildlife, NMDOH said."
