Toxicity and Informal Living in Esmeraldas, Ecuador
Keyword(s):
This article follows Lety and her family, who were part of the first wave of settlers that established the 50 Casas neighborhood—a once informal community—in Esmeraldas, Ecuador, located near a petrochemical complex. From the outset, the residents of 50 Casas routinely dealt with, and continue to deal with, all the problems associated with living in an urban, informal settlement: lack of services, poor infrastructure, high poverty rates, and insecurity. However, on top of that, the 50 Casas residents also deal with the toxic exposures associated with the refinery.
