SURVEY OF AIR POLLUTION PERCEPTIONS*** The majority of respondents polled feel that the nation's air quality has gotten worse over the past 10 years. This is almost twice as many as feel it has improved or remained the same. Gender, race, age, educational level as well as the region of the country in which they live had a significant impact on respondents' opinions.

® Females, African-Americans, and younger respondents were much more likely to indicate that the quality of the air is worse.

® People living in the North East and North Central regions were significantly more likely than those living in the South to indicate that the nations air quality has gotten better in the past ten years. Those with higher education levels were also significantly more likely to feel air quality has improved.***
