Abstract: This paper analyzes residents' perceptions concerning an industrial accident with environmental impacts. The data used were obtained by 505 face-to-face interviews. Binary and logit models were developed to elicit parameters that affect the risk perception of residents in nearby potentially affected agglomerations. Additionally, using geographical information systems, the spatial properties of risk perception of the accident are presented interpolating the point data so as to produce various grids of risk perception. Finally, we estimated the willingness to pay (and parameters affecting it) for remediation to environmental monitoring with the aid of a proposed trusted lab.
