摘要：This article explores how social and scientific rationalities came into play in the context of the decontamination of the Bonfol
(Switzerland) industrial dumping ground, and what consequences resulted from it. The exposure of the sanitary and environmental risks is
at once based on the criticism of the technical/scientific statements and of the scientific survey, which however tends to lose its legitimacy
as it becomes part of a political debate. Still, scientific data remains a crucial justifying tool in the conflict. Non-specialists must then
adapt themselves and rely on a scientific discourse, while still being able to raise other arguments that redefine the environmental
problem.
