Nearly half of Brits associate “pollution” with fossil fuels (49%), or personal transport like cars or trains (43%) – but are less knowledgeable when it comes to pollution that can be found indoors, research has found.
Other common sources of pollution that Brits could confidently name include single-use plastics (21%), and aerosols (19%).
But almost half (48%), of the 2,000 adults polled, admit they wish they knew more about air pollution – as many are not aware that air fresheners, candles, and even dog hair are common pollutants inside the home.
