dc.description.abstractEnglish: This Ph.D. dissertation examines the Danish chemical manufacturer “Cheminova,” its multiple cases of chemical pollution, and the community’s experiences of living in a contaminated area. By exploring chemical pollution through the interface between industry, state, and citizens in the Nordic Region, it examines the historical causes of environmental issues. Furthermore, the dissertation focuses on communities' experiences of living in a contaminated area, which is crucial for understanding contemporary environmental crises. Additionally, the dissertation situates the field of environmental justice in the Nordic Region and opens critical discussions of existing narratives of the region as egalitarian environmental frontrunners. The dissertation consists of four independent research articles. The first article shows how Cheminova constructed specific narratives about pollution. The second article explores environmentalist's ambivalent emotions during a remediation process. The third article examines rumors about pollution. The fourth article engages with the regulatory and scientific depictions of the underground as an ideal space for storing chemical waste and tries to think about the subsurface differently. All four articles integrate an explicit environmental justice perspective that emphasizes other ways of knowing, understanding, and relating to pollution. The dissertation introduces and develops the concept of “submergence” to elucidate how specific discourses around pollution dominate others and how these discourses affect the local community. By situating its research through “field history” as a distinct method, the thesis stresses the importance of an engaged environmental history in contemporary environmental issues. Dansk: Denne Ph.d.-afhandling undersøger den danske kemikalieproducent ”Cheminova,” dens mange tilfælde af kemisk forurening, samt lokalsamfundets oplevelse af at bo i et kraftigt forurenet område. Ved at udforske kemisk forurening i grænsefladen mellem industri, stat og borger i Norden, undersøger afhandlingen de historiske årsager af centrale miljøspørgsmål. Afhandlingen fokuserer på lokalbefolkningens oplevelser af at leve i et forurenet område, som er essentielle for at forstå samtidens miljøkriser. Derudover, ved at placere miljøretfærdighed i Norden, åbner der sig en række perspektiver som problematiserer eksisterende narrativer af regionen som egalitære miljøfrontløbere. Afhandlingen består af fire selvstændige forskningsartikler. Den første artikel viser hvordan Cheminova konstruerede specifikke narrativer omkring forurening. Den anden artikel udforsker miljøforkæmperes ambivalens ved en oprensningsproces. Den tredje artikel undersøger rygter omkring forurening. Den fjerde artikel undersøger lovgivningsmæssige og naturvidenskabelige fremstillinger af undergrunden som et ideelt sted for at opbevare kemisk affald, og forsøger at gentænke undergrunden anderledes. Alle fire artikler integrerer et udtalt miljøretfærdighedsperspektiv, der fremhæver andre måder at vide, forstå og relatere til forurening. Afhandlingen introducerer og udvikler konceptet ”submergence,” der belyser hvordan specifikke diskurser omkring forurening dominerer andre, og hvordan disse diskurser har konsekvenser for lokalbefolkningen. Ved at situere forskningen igennem ”field history” som en særpræget metode, understreger afhandlingen miljøhistoriens vigtige rolle i nuværende miljøspørgsmål.en_US
