1999年夏季，在英国南威尔士的8个海滩(n=850)，通过问卷调查，评估了海滩使用者对各种常见海滩垃圾的看法。28个碎片物品的照片都被用作视觉辅助工具。海滩使用者对某些垃圾物品的感觉几乎是普遍的，最具攻击性的视觉污染形式是具有潜在危害的物品(例如注射器、煤气罐)以及与污水有关的垃圾物品(例如卫生巾、卫生棉条涂抹器、避孕套)。最不具攻击性的碎片物品被发现是“天然”来源的(即海藻、浮木)。其中一项与污水有关的废物，即棉花棒(Q TIPS)的违法性评级很低。辨别某些物品的能力被发现是影响随地扔垃圾的冒犯性程度的一个因素。平均只有2%的受访者正确识别了棉签(Q提示)。在19%的情况下，卫生巾被错误识别，卫生棉条涂抹器被错误识别的时间为47%。被认为对健康有潜在威胁的物品引发了海滩用户的高度冒犯，无论是否存在任何真正的危险。调查发现，对海滩使用者来说，“与排污相关的垃圾”是最具攻击性的海岸污染“类型”，而“变色水”是危害最小的污染参数。
Beach user perceptions of various items of commonly found beach debris were assessed with the use of a questionnaire at eight south Wales, UK, beaches during the summer of 1999 (n = 850). Photographs of each of 28 debris items were utilised as a visual aid. The perception of particular litter items was virtually universal amongst beach users with the most offensive forms of visual pollution being items that were potentially harmful (e.g. syringe, gas canister) along with items of sewage related debris (e.g. sanitary towels, tampon applicators, condoms). The least offensive debris items were found to be of 'natural' origin (i.e. seaweed, driftwood). One item of sewage related debris, namely cotton bud sticks (Q tips), attained a very low offensiveness rating. The ability to identify certain items was found to be a contributory factor in the level of offensiveness attached to litter. An average of only 2% of interviewees correctly identified cotton bud sticks (Q tips). Sanitary towels were incorrectly identified in 19% of instances, with tampon applicators being incorrectly identified 47% of the time. Items perceived to be of potential threat to health provoked a high level of offensiveness from beach users, whether there was any real danger or not. 'Sewage related debris' was found to be the most offensive 'type' of coastal pollution to beach users, with 'discoloured water' proving to be the least offensive pollution parameter.
