在水和空气环境中发现的污染物对人类健康构成日益严重的威胁。接触一些空气、水和食源性病原体（如诺如病毒）会导致胃肠道疾病和暴发。为了减轻未来的风险，我们的目标是衡量人们对水传播和食源性诺如病毒相对于其他环境相关污染物（如农药、生物气溶胶、抗生素耐药细菌）和众所周知的风险（如糖尿病、痴呆、恐怖袭击）的认识。我们使用了一项在线调查，其中包括一个最佳-最差缩放组件，以引出诺如病毒引起的个人控制和恐惧水平相对于其他15种风险。在所有16项测量的风险中，恐惧水平与控制水平之间存在负相关。与男性相比，女性的感知感染控制水平更高，并且与两组的年龄和资格水平相关。就诺如病毒引起的症状寻求建议的参与者似乎对风险有更好的控制。诺如病毒与高度恐惧有关，然而，与沙门氏菌等其他食源性疾病相比，对其的控制水平较低。解决公众对如何控制病原体接触这一重要卫生需求的理解上的不足。
Pollutants found in the water and air environment represent an ever-growing threat to human health. Contact with some air-, water- and foodborne pathogens (e.g. norovirus) results in gastrointestinal diseases and outbreaks. For future risk mitigation, we aimed to measure people’s awareness of waterborne and foodborne norovirus relative to other environment-associated pollutants (e.g. pesticides, bioaerosols, antibiotic resistant bacteria) and well-known risks (e.g. diabetes, dementia, terrorist attack). We used an online survey, which included a best–worst scaling component to elicit personal levels of control and fear prompted by norovirus relative to 15 other risks. There was a negative correlation between levels of fear vs. control for all 16 measured risks. Perceived infection control levels were higher amongst women compared to men and correlated with age and the level of qualification in both groups. Participants who had sought advice regarding the symptoms caused by norovirus appeared to have more control over the risks. Norovirus is associated with high levels of fear, however, the levels of control over it is low compared to other foodborne illnesses, e.g. Salmonella. Addressing this deficit in the public’s understanding of how to control exposure to the pathogen in an important health need.
