75% Of Brits Feel They Can’t Protect Themselves From Breathing Contaminated Air

A recent poll of 2,000 adults¹ found that airborne transmission of Coronavirus remains a key concern. Three quarters (75%) believe they can easily wash or sanitise their hands to protect against contaminated surfaces, but they can’t protect themselves from breathing in contaminated air.

Furthermore, 64% of people are now more concerned about air quality in the indoor environments they visit than they were before the pandemic.
