Description

Toxic Living: Exposure and Immunity in the Time of ‘Forever Chemicals’. This project aims to develop new sociological understanding of exposure and immunity in the time of ‘forever chemicals’. Using innovative qualitative methods and research translation strategies, it will adopt a person- and community-centred approach to investigate experiences of a) living with forever chemicals, and; b) the various forms of autoimmunity with which they have been linked. This will generate foundational knowledge, leading the international scholarship in health sociology. The project will create significant benefit through improved understandings, publicly accessibly resources and targeted policy advice to reduce the inequities and harms of living with pervasive chemical risk in the often toxic conditions of late capitalism..
