Critical Commentary
The Pollution Reporter app in an example of a civic data resource for the Chemical Valley (Sarnia, CA) case study (Group #3). This app allows individuals to access data regarding pollution as well as report pollution events caused by petrochemical plants in the industrial complex known as Chemical Valley.
Audience: the Pollution Reporter app is primarily intended for the use of the Aamjiwnaang First Nation community and others who live near Chemical Valley, but anyone is welcome to use the app to better understand the health harms associated with pollutants.
Intention: Pollution Reporter hopes to support community member's abilities to link health harms to companies and pollution without having to demonstrate their own health harms and be subjected to extractive research.
