− | <p>Uranium, a radioactive heavy metal element, poses a threat to both the environment and human health. A person could be exposed to uranium by inhaling dust in the air or by ingesting contaminated water and food, and such exposure could sharply increase the risk of various diseases including cancer. Uranium pollution has become more commonplace due to nuclear accidents, uranium mining, the deployment of depleted uranium weapons and so on. However, the existing methods for remediation are still less than satisfactory. This is why we are trying to construct a novel functional biological hydrogel for uranium removal using the methods of synthetic biology. In addition to the necessary design and experiments, we wanted to know whether the populace in China has a correct understanding of uranium pollution, as well as investigate their awareness and acceptance of biological hydrogel and synthetic biology, in order to round up this project completely. Thus we designed a questionnaire and analyzed the findings as presented in this report.</p> | + | <p>Uranium, a radioactive heavy metal element, poses a threat to both the environment and human health.

− | <p>Among the 939 respondents, 77.3% had heard of synthetic biology and the majority of them knew about specific terms in the field of synthetic biology such as " Transgenesis", "Clone” and " Gene therapy". The awareness rates for these terms were 96.6%, 95.4% and 88.4%, respectively. The familiarity with the term “iGEM” was relatively low, at 34.2%, but was much higher than last year, when it was 3.6% according to the investigation report of the 2015 Peking iGEM team. It should be mentioned that the awareness rates in the survey may be much higher than domestic average levels because the questionnaire was spread by the relatives and friends of iGEMers on the network. Even though the sample is likely heavily skewed and not really representative of the general population, it still indicates that participating in iGEM had an influence on improving awareness levels to a significant degree. The channel through which most respondents heard of these terms was the network itself, accounting for 76.7%. </p> | + | <p>Among the 939 respondents, 77.3% had heard of synthetic biology and the majority of them knew about specific terms in the field of synthetic biology such as " Transgenesis", "Clone” and " Gene therapy".

| <p>As for the attitudes towards synthetic biology, most of the respondents appear to be rational. 91.8% of the population held the idea that synthetic biology had both advantages and disadvantages. About 77% of the population are optimistic about the suitability of methods of synthetic biology to deal with uranium pollution, and up to 91% of them support adopting these methods for a trial. The biggest reason why people are willing to try is the perception of this technology as “eco-friendlier” (90% of population chose this answer). On the other hand, the respondents who are not willing to use these kinds of methods mainly worry about the risks it may carry (54.8% of population believe this point), or thing think that the effectiveness may not be as good as with established methods (46.4% of the population).</p> | | <p>As for the attitudes towards synthetic biology, most of the respondents appear to be rational. 91.8% of the population held the idea that synthetic biology had both advantages and disadvantages.
