From the clothes we wear, to the way we travel, to our consumption choices, we are all – in highly uneven ways – creators and repositories of environmental damage. Toxicants have become increasingly ubiquitous in everyday life, and toxic potential suspends itself between absolute mundanity and perpetual threat. Yet despite the everpresent realities of contamination and environmental damage, pollution is often very difficult to sense or witness. Hazardous substances, for example, are often impossible to observe with the naked eye. According to the dominant narrative (see Kuchinskaya 2014), the dangers of chemical spills, radioactive particles, and air pollution, for example, would all be rendered imperceptible without the intervention of scientific devices; chemical sensors, Geiger counters, air meters, and so on. The human body alone, it seems, is not equipped to grapple with the agencies of latemodern discard. But what is it about pollution that gives it this uncanny characteristic? And moreover, does this narrative of sensorial ignorance correspond with the actually existing experience of living with pollution? Toxic pollution is occluded from our senses in two primary ways: through scale and through temporality. Geographically, the impacts of toxic things can transcend the widest of scales: from the sphere of microbiology – operating at the cellular level within the borders of the polluted body – to a global reach, where toxic pollution spreads invisibly, ignoring geopolitical boundaries in the land, sea, and air.
