Kyle - Michael Siegrist and Angela Bearth conducted a survey on 8 European Countries -- Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom -- with a sample of 5,631 participants to measure chemophobia. Results found that 30% of participants were "scared" of chemical substances. Additionally, 40% of participants believed that they "avoid chemical substances in [their] daily lives" and 39% of participants wanted to live in a world that was "chemical free."
