quotidian toxic

This visualization shows how toxics like VOCs are invisible and "quotidian" presences which are felt, but often not easy to make visible for regulation. Toxicity here refers to the substances like VOCs and explores both their materiality when considered in terms of particles, and their seeming immateriality when they become invisible due to our ways of looking and creating knowledge. The overall essay description suggests there may be other toxics at work such as race, class, gender, but that doesn't come through in this visualization. Perhaps the ethnographer can highlight how toxicity settles on raced,classed, gendered bodies as one way to "know" pollution and contrast this with atmotube..
