| 4.) Risks of Your Project Now |
| a) Risks to the safety and health of team members, or other people working in the lab: |
| - Without drinking large amount of sample, there is no risk.Such taking might cause irritation to skin,eyes,and respiratory tract. |
| b) Risks to the safety and health of the general public (if any biological materials escaped from your lab): |
| - Wihtout drinking large amount of sample, there is no risk.Such taking might cause irritation to skin,eyes,and respiratory tract. |
| c) Risks to the environment (from waste disposal, or from materials escaping from your lab): |
| - Production of AHL might perturbate communications in wild bacteria. |
| d) Risks to security through malicious mis-use by individuals, groups, or countries: |
| - Use of plant hormone in the opposite direction could disrupt growth of crops.Malicious usage of phage might pertubate intestinal flora. |
| e) What measures are you taking to reduce these risks? (For example: safe lab practices, choices of which organisms to use.) |
| - Do not eat,drink,smoke,prepare or store foods in laboratories. - Wear a lab-coat(white coat) while you are in a bio-lab. - Keep the lab tidy and clean. - Put labels on containers. - Practice disinfection,sterilization,and washing hands. |
| 5.) Risks of Your Project in the Future |
| a) What new risks might arise from your project's growth? (Consider the categories of risk listed in parts a-d of the previous question: lab workers, the general public, the environment, and malicious mis-uses.) Also, what risks might arise if the knowledge you generate or the methods you develop became widely available? |
| - Excess produce of oxalic acid may cause urinary stone.(a) - We can farm any poisonous plants easily. (b) - Too many phosphate may cause contamination of environment.(c) - Diabetes patient may have danger if he or she intakes Cystein over 1500mg.(a) |
| b) Does your project currently include any design features to reduce risks? Or, if you did all the future work to make your project grow into a popular product, would you plan to design any new features to minimize risks? (For example: auxotrophic chassis, physical containment, etc.) Such features are not required for an iGEM project, but many teams choose to explore them. |
| - We have to consider potential risks in Bioremediation. When our project grow, limitation of solid use will be needed. |
