Social Sciences - 人类学 / looking for a better verb | | English英语词条或短语： catalyze (non-scientific context) | Hi Proz (and all other weekenders)!
Ok, I know "catalizar" is what we'll find in the Dicc.Oxford I-E, but this verb is not in my DRAE (not that this would normally put me off, sometimes quite the opposite!).
If this was meant in a scientific sense, I would not hesitate to use it, but here it used merely in a figurative sense and I find "catalizar" quite unsatisfactory.
Now, I'm quite positive that there are much fitter ways to put it in Spanish, but my brain just isn't clicking on this one. Actually it hasn't been clicking much at all recently!
Any help is much appreciated, TIA!

Context:
"...petrol companies have contaminated the water of the Pilcomayo river and catalyzed the loss of cultural integrity through the migration of workers to the sites."
P.S. Sorry for all the blurb, translation can be a lonely business! :O) :O) |

Esto me pasa por comprar en la librería del pueblo en lugar de irme al diccionario en línea de la DRAE. Mis disculpas de nuevo y mil sonrisas a todos. :O) :O) :O)
