The share of respondents from England who see traffic exhaust fumes as a very serious problem initially declined between 2005 and 2013, falling to just 12 percent. In the following years, this share increased again, reaching 21 percent in 2019. This compared to an additional 40 percent who said exhaust fumes were a serious issue that same year.

Until 2017, questions regarding transportation and climate change were asked as part of the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey and included respondents from the whole of Great Britain. From 2019 onwards, questions were asked as part of the National Travel Attitudes Study (NTAS) for respondents from England. Figures from previous years were adjusted to reflect answers from English respondents.
