This visualization speaks to the ways in which toxicity becomes public and what such becoming entails: the counting of affected populations, the naming of toxic elements, the identification of the source of pollution. Toxicity is not only mapped but also ranked. Toxicity is a social process, as it is material. Some toxicities become (visible) by receiving public attention, and such attention may produce toxic social relations: in this case, between local communities and international environmental agents.
