Environmental and health risks in contaminated communities: citizens’ experiences and sensing expertiments

What impact does pollution have on people living near industrial sites? What are the additional constraints on their daily lives? How do they cope and what can their contribution to sensing and monitoring of pollution – for a more socially robust knowledge about environmental and health risks?

Christelle Gramaglia is a sociologist specialising in environmental sciences. She holds a PhD from MinesPSL and is Director of Research at the French National Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE), in the G-EAU research unit. She also teaches at the University of Montpellier. Her research focuses on the controversies surrounding the friction between sensitive experiences and the measurement of industrial pollution. She is also interested in the epistemological and political changes promoted by participatory and citizen science.
