A study in the UK suggests that social support plays a significant positive role indeveloping perceptions of air pollution, which greatly influences people’s protectivebehavior[19]. Most participants in this study did not get any support from their neighbors orfriends because this issue was neglected during their chats or discussions. Thus, they lackedsocial support for information, which explains part of the reasons behind their lack of clearunderstanding about the prevailing air pollution in the surrounding area. Furthermore, thislack ultimately affects their protective practices evidenced by the finding that respondentswho got social support from family, neighbors, friends, environmental experts and healthvolunteers practiced safe protective methods. Evidently, social support from family, friendsand neighbors should be further promoted as this creates a positive impact.
