Survey

The awareness of citizens about the mercury-containing household goods, behavioural biases, and their reasons

Partners of the LIFE MERCURY-FREE project conduct a survey to measure the awareness of citizens about the mercury-containing household goods, and their harmfulness for the human. Please take about 10-15 minutes of your time to complete our survey. Participation is voluntary and anonymous. We hope for your sincerity in your answers. All your responses will be kept confidential within reasonable limits.

More information regarding survey are available after visiting webpage: https://life-mercuryfree.eu.

The statistics will be used to prepare recommendations, which will allow to rid mercury-containing goods from our homes in a relevant way and thus avoid environmental pollution caused by harmful waste. Additionally, survey results may improve the pro-ecological awareness of European citizens.
