Can you match each of the Top 9 Hazards to the bubble that represents its annual cost?
Note, the size of the bubble reflects the portion of overall costs shown by the outer circle.
In fact, at £848 million cold homes are 4 times more costly than the next risk category – falls on stairs (£207 million).
Being chronically cold stresses the body's respiratory, cardiac and immune systems, leading to more doctor visits and hospitalisations, and greater need for long-term treatment. In 2011, more than 1.3 million homes – 15% of all homes – in the UK put their residents at risk.
