Brits most associate 'pollution' with fossil fuels or transport, research finds

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%).
