3.3.2 Safety concerns
When asked about safety, majority of respondents stated they were
worried about safety with 371 (85.9%) responding yes, 31 responding no
(7.2%), and 30 who have not thought about it until now (6.9%). Gas,
food freshness and smoke were major concerns for majority of respondents
(Fig. 1). Other household odours were the most popular answer for
‘somewhat concerned’, followed by personal hygiene and food freshness.
Hygiene of babies and children was the most popular answer in ‘haven’t
thought about until now’ and ‘not concerned at all’ group. A separate
figure for UK participants only was created but the trend of answers
remained unchanged (Supplementary Material, Fig. 1).
Other worries written by the respondents were burning food when cooking,
faulty exhausts in cars, perfume, and missing out on the smell of
others.
