How Do English Pupils Understand Pollution?

Ali, Ibrahim M.

International Journal of Environmental Education and Information, v10 n4 p203-20 Oct-Dec 1991

A study of English students' concepts of pollution (n=122) indicates students understand pollution in two distinct ways: pollution that goes into the atmosphere and pollution that damages or destroys. Concludes that to the students' minds it seems that both these definitions can only be valid if associated with human-made activities. (Author/MCO)
