This thesis analyzes the psychosocial impact of PFAS contamination. In particular, it seeks to explore the experiences of young adults living in the red zone of Veneto. The goal is to understand the dynamics of the perception of a technological risk, as well as the attitudes and behaviors that result from it. Through semi-structured interviews, 23 testimonies from young adults were collected. The results obtained through thematic analysis reveal a limited overall understanding of the technological disaster and attitudes of denial.
Questa tesi analizza l'impatto psicosociale della contaminazione Pfas. In particolare, cerca di approfondire il vissuto dei giovani adulti residenti nella zona rossa del Veneto. L'obiettivo è comprendere le dinamiche della percezione di un rischio tecnologico, gli atteggiamenti ed i comportamenti che ne derivano. Attraverso l'intervista semi-strutturata, sono state raccolte 23 testimonianze di giovani adulti. I risultati ottenuti mediante analisi tematica restituiscono una scarsa comprensione generale del disastro tecnologico e atteggiamenti di diniego.
