Abstract

Pollution linkages are the connections between sources of pollution, pathways through which pollutants travel, and receptors that are impacted by pollution. These linkages are often broken down into three stages in environmentalism in to the source, pathway and receptor (SPR) framework. This zine shares how, with an understanding of this framework, HCI researchers can ensure equitability in their developments both in terms of the environment but the users and those in marginalised groups.
