摘要

环境危害,特别是空气污染的治理和监测,往往由技术专长和科学知识主导。这种方法将这个问题从公共辩论和民主审议中排除:公民事实上被排除在相关决策之外,他们对这个问题的了解几乎没有被考虑在内。本文探讨了公民科学挑战不公平的环境监测和治理框架的潜力和局限性,因为它通过实现三个关键过程赋予公民权力:获得知识、获得认知认可和建立跨学科联盟。从经验上讲,这项研究是基于AirCasting Brussels,这是一个公民科学项目,在动员更清洁的空气的背景下在布鲁塞尔展开,它对此做出了贡献。分析表明,公民科学提高了参与社区审查空气污染政策、参与和影响公众讨论的能力,尽管有一定的局限性。总的来说,作为参与民主的基本权利的对应物,公民科学被证明可以有效地加强公民以有意义的方式这样做的能力。

The Empowering Virtues of Citizen Science: Claiming Clean Air in Brussels
The governance and monitoring of environmental hazards—and of air pollution in particular—is often dominated by technical expertise and scientific knowledge. Approaches of this kind remove the issue from the public debate and democratic deliberation: citizens are de facto excluded from related decision-making and their knowledge about the problem is barely taken into account. This article explores the potential and limits of citizen science to challenge unfair frameworks of environmental monitoring and governance, inasmuch as it empowers citizens, by enabling three critical processes: gaining knowledge, gaining epistemic recognition, and building transdisciplinary coalitions. Empirically, this study is based on AirCasting Brussels, a Citizen Science project that unrolled in Brussels in the context of a mobilization for cleaner air to which it contributed. The analysis shows that citizen science has increased the ability of participating communities to scrutinize air pollution policy and to contribute to and influence public discussion about it, albeit with certain limits. Overall, as a counterpart to their fundamental right to participate in democracy, Citizen Science proves effective to strengthen citizens’ capabilities to do so in a meaningful manner.

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
