Supplementary notes
During the survey, this question was posed as follows: "I'm going to read you a list of environmental problems. As I read each one, please tell me if you personally worry about this problem a great deal, a fair amount, only a little, or not at all. First, how much do you personally worry about the pollution of rivers, lakes and reservoirs?"
Missing percentage points to 100 percent are from respondents who stated they had no opinion.
