| Summary: | This article sheds light on the ways in which the air pollution problem has evolved thanks to the emergence of new citizen mobilizations, driven by the growth of the low-cost sensor market. However, the focus has shifted from the role of the mobilized groups to that of scientists and institutional players involved in participatory and citizen science projects. Based on a field survey carried out in Paris, this article highlights that scientists and institutional stakeholders join citizen science projects with their own interests and objectives, which are different from those of the mobilized collectives. This results in significant power asymmetries which reduce the role of the mobilized groups to mere digital data collection. It shows how reducing the citizen to a sensor of environmental pollution limits the capacity of a citizen science project to transform into a mobilization capable of redefining and reconfiguring the problem of air pollution on a local scale. |
