Q5Q6Q7Q8Q9AQuestion statementsHere you are presented with statements about possible uses ofCO 2. Please indicate how sure you are about the truth of eachstatement.Tick the most appropriate number on the scale from 1-5. If you do notknow the answer you can choose answer option 3.CO 2 is used to make drinks fizzy e.g. cola and soda.Extra CO 2 is put into the air in some greenhouses to help plants grow.CO 2 is used in some fire extinguishers.CO 2 is used to make tyres.CO 2 emissions from industry are much higher than CO 2 inputs intoindustry.Next there are several opposing adjectives about CO 2. Pleasechoose the adjective that most closely reflects your opinion of CO 2by circling the most appropriate dot on the scales below. Thecloser your answer is to one of the adjectives, the more it reflectsyour opinion.My current impression of CO 2 is Positive/Negative.My current impression of CO 2 is Clean/Dirty.My current impression of CO 2 is Useful/Useless.My current impression of CO 2 is Dangerous/Safe.Have you heard about a new technology called Carbon dioxideCapture and Storage, often referred to as CO 2 capture and storage,before participating in this survey?Tick one box.Next there are several opposing adjectives about CO 2 Capture andStorage. Please choose the adjective that most closely reflectsyour view of CO 2 Capture and Storage by circling the mostappropriate dot on the scales below. The closer your answer is toone of the adjectives, the more it reflects your opinion.My current impression of CO 2 capture and storage is Positive/Negative.My current impression of CO 2 capture and storage is Clean/Dirty.My current impression of CO 2 capture and storage is Useful/Useless.My current impression of CO 2 capture and storage is Dangerous/Safe.My current impression of CO 2 capture and storage is Mature/Developingtechnology.ImplementationWhat is your opinion on implementing CO 2 capture and storage inYOUR COUNTRY? Please tick the most appropriate number.What is your opinion on implementing onshore CO 2 capture and storagein your neighbourhood? Please tick the most appropriate number.What is your opinion on implementing offshore CO 2 capture and storagein the sub-seabed off YOUR COUNTRY‘s shores? Please tick the mostappropriate number.Please read the following information on the characteristics ofCO 2. For each set of statements, please consider how importantthis information is to you in order to form an opinion about CO 2Capture and Storage. Please tick the most appropriate number.Carbon dioxide (CO 2) consists of one carbon atom and two oxygenatoms bound together. It is mainly produced by burning carboncontainingfuels.Variable NamesColaGreenhouseFireExtinguisherTyreInputIndCO 2Positive1CO 2Clean1CO 2Useful1CO 2Dangerous1KnowCCSPositive1CCSClean1CCSUseful1CCSDangerous1CCSMature1ImplementCountry1ImplementOnshore1ImplementOffshore1InfoChemistry58 | Understanding how individuals perceive carbon dioxide

Greenhouse gases in ouratmosphere make sure the sun's warmth on earth does not immediatelyescape out to space. This 'greenhouse effect' provides a habitableclimate for plants, animals and humans.The toxicity of CO 2 depends on its concentration in the atmosphere.Please read the following table which lists indicative physical effects ofincreasing CO 2 concentrations.Variable NamesInfoPropertyInfoGHeffectConcentration of CO 2(%)Time ofexposureto onset(minutes)SymptomsExample ofconcentration0.04% Prolonged None Atmosphericconcentration0.1% Prolonged None Concentration insome hot springs1% Prolonged Drowsiness Concentration ina closed roomfull of people2–6% 5-30 Heavier or fasterbreathingHeadache,dizziness, chillsand decrease insensation6–10% 5-60 Dim vision,tremors and lossof consciousness(risk of death)Breath fromhumans (100timesatmosphericconcentration)Places where CO 2 exists• Atmosphere• Breath from humans• Forests• Oceans• Underground in oil and gas fields and magma chambers fromvolcanoesUses of CO 2• CO 2 is used to make drinks fizzy e.g. cola and soda• Extra CO 2 is put in the air in greenhouses to help plants grow• CO 2 is used in some fire extinguishersInfoToxicityInfoPlaceInfoUseUnderstanding how individuals perceive carbon dioxide | 59
