  In the Shadow of the Petrochemical Smokestack. Chemical Corridors and Environmental Health

  This conference endeavours to study chemical industries that use fossil fuel derivatives. It will focus on these industrial activities’ environmental and health effects on surrounding areas and local populations. In the 20^th century, petrochemical activities shaped their surrounding areas. Not just because such facilities required massive ancillary infrastructure networks to be built, but also because they enabled the production of new substances requiring coal and oil derivatives. As soon as petrochemical facilities were brought on stream, their harmful effects on local communities were perceptible. These industrial activities were rapidly accused of causing health problems for workers and neighbouring populations alike. Conflictuality was generally latent but sometimes broke out in overt violence, especially when highly visible “industrial spillovers” occurred, abruptly putting the spotlight on previously-unnoticed chronic pollution. Up to the present day, this conflictuality can also be vehemently expressed when deindustrialisation breaks the unspoken agreement that may have existed between workers and the companies that paid their wages. When an industrial activity ends, its ecological and health effects may become apparent, fuelling the resentment of the affected local populations and giving rise to activist movements that sometimes draw on revived memories of past disasters.
