This study investigates the perception of the air pollution as assessed by individuals located in ten countries: Australia, Brazil, China, Ghana, India, Iran, Italy, Norway, South Africa and the USA. The perceptions towards air quality were evaluated by employing an online survey administered in May 2020. Participants (N = 9394) in the ten countries expressed their opinions according to a Likert-scale response. A reduction in pollutant concentration was clearly perceived, albeit to a different extent, by all populations. The survey participants located in India and Italy perceived the largest drop in the air pollution concentration; conversely, the smallest variation was perceived among Chinese and Norwegian respondents. Among all the demographic indicators considered, only gender proved to be statistically significant.Item Survey data regarding perceived air quality in Australia, Brazil, China, Ghana, India, Iran, Italy, Norway, South Africa, United States before and during Covid-19 restrictions.(2020) Barbieri, Diego Maria; Lou, Baowen; Passavanti, Marco; Hui, Cang; Lessa, Daniela Antunes; Maharaj, Brij; Banerjee, Arunabha; Wang, Fusong; Chang, Kevin; Naik, Bhaven; Yu, Lei; Liu, Zhuangzhuang; Sikka, Gaurav; Tucker, Andrew; Mirhosseini, Ali Foroutan; Naseri, Sahra; Qiao, Yaning; Gupta, Akshay; Abbas, Montasir; Fang, Kevin; Ghasemi, Navid; Peprah, Prince; Goswami, Shubham; Hessami, Amir; Agarwal, Nithin; Lam, Louisa; Adomako, SolomonThe dataset deals with the air quality perceived by citizens before and during the enforcement of COVID-19 restrictions in ten countries around the world: Australia, Brazil, China, Ghana, India, Iran, Italy, Norway, South Africa and the United States. An online survey conveniently translated into Chinese, English, Italian, Norwegian, Persian, Portuguese collected in- formation regarding the perceived quality of air pollution ac- cording to a Likert scale. The questionnaire was distributed between 11-05-2020 and 31-05-2020 and 9 394 respondents took part. Both the survey and the dataset (stored in a Mi- crosoft Excel Worksheet) are available in a public repository. The collected data offer the people’s subjective perspectives related to the objective improvement in air quality occurred during the COVID-19 restrictions. Furthermore, the dataset can be used for research studies involving the reduction in air pollution as experienced, to a different extent, by popula- tions of all the ten countries.
