    A menudo, la industria deja recuerdos químicos e invisibles, aunque peligrosos, de su actividad. Al ser invisibles estos compuestos, para poder realizar una evaluación del riesgo las personas deben partir de heurísticos, procedentes en parte de las relaciones personas-lugar. La región de Marsella, en Francia, presenta un caso interesante para analizar la forma en que se evalúan los riesgos locales en relación con variables personas-lugar. Los riesgos percibidos de un proyecto de descontaminación en el que el ‘lodo rojo’ (un residuo industrial) se usa para neutralizar suelos contaminados con plomo se analizan en relación con (1) el apego al lugar; y (2) la confianza en diversos tipos de organización. Los resultados muestran que los participantes con un mayor apego al lugar perciben su ambiente local como menos contaminado y consideran el proyecto como una mayor amenaza. Además, la edad (asociada con riesgo percibido) y la confianza en organizaciones sociales (asociada con beneficios percibidos) explican significativamente el balance de riesgos-beneficios asociados al proyecto. En la discusión se tiene en cuenta cómo la diversidad del público local puede generar reacciones muy diferentes en el tejido social al proyecto de descontaminación.

    Industries sometimes leaves invisible yet dangerous chemical memories of their activities. Because these compounds are invisible, people rely on heuristics informed in part by people-place relations to make a risk judgment. The Marseille region of France provides an interesting case to analyse how local risks are judged in relation to people-place variables. The perceived risks of a depollution project where ‘red mud’ (an industrial residue) is used to neutralize lead-contaminated soil are analysed in relation to (1) place attachment and (2) trust in several types of organization. Results show that participants with stronger local attachment perceive their local environment as less polluted and consider the project as a greater threat. Furthermore, risks vs. benefits associated with the project are significantly explained by age (associated with perceived risk) and trust in societal organizations (associated with perceived benefits). Discussion considers how the diversity of local publics could lead to widely different reactions to the depollution project across the city’s social tissue.
