Soil pollution is a widespread problem, to solve the problem of soil can not only rely on unilateral force, each aspect of human society for the understanding and attitude of it are not the same, we interviewed experts around the world in biotechnology and environmental fields, hope they can bring us some useful advice. And set the information down on a map of the world, to help us share these suggestions to the whole world.

New York University, Professor Christine A. Rushlow

This summer, in Chengdu, we met professor Chris Rushlow of the New York University Graduate School professor, and left a mailbox, after we asked for the permission of professor, we discussed in the project, and professor gave us some suggestions.

University of Glasgow，professor Yin Huabing

During the summer holiday, we had the honor of inviting professor Yin Huabing of University of Glasgow and a small lecture on synthetic biology was held at the coffee shop. Then UESTC-China team had an interview with Professor, she told us to participate in international events (such as iGEM) for us to widen sight and improve scientific research ability is of great help, our team member told the difficulties on our project to professor, and she gave us a good answer.

Tsinghua University，professor Sui Senfang

Tsinghua University professor Sui Senfang visited the University of Electronic Science and technology, at the forum, members of iGEM and professor discussed why the experiment was not detected in Hhec, Professor Sui provided some instructive thoughts to us:

（1）. Probably because our protein expression is too low, the protein can not be polymerized to form tetraploid , and can not be detected.

（2）.Page electrophoresis can be used to determine whether the product is a monomer or a four polymer.

We contacted the Sun researcher of the Shaanxi Institute of soil engineering

and conducted a video interview with him.

Others

We also contacted professor Duan of University of Chicago, Professor Keer of University of Edinburgh and Professor Li of Southwest Jiao Tong University

The breadth of the project and the efficiency of our two priority issues, we hope to understand the whole of China's TCP pollution deeply, the complexity of our super-plants and can effectively degrade the different regions of different soil TCP?

We launched 61 volunteers in 57 districts and collected hundreds of local soil samples from their hometowns ， we tested each soil sample.

The results show that there are more or less TCP contamination in Gansu Province, Hebei Province and some parts of Sichuan Province (Panzhihua, etc.), and there is no TCP in Guizhou, Anhui, Liaoning, Shandong and Sichuan Pollution or lighter condition.

soil questionnaire all over China

Hundreds of volunteers visited and distributed a total of 500 questionnaires throughout the country, and we statistics questionnaires from the different area and find out what is worth thinking about.

questionnaire for peasants

We interviewed the main potential producers of pollution sources: factories and peasants, and sent them some questionnaires to try to understand whether there could be TCP residues in plant waste and pesticide residues. After the investigation, we talked to them, listened to their views on soil pollution, and taught farmers some of the basic ways to prevent excessive use of land and prevent pollution.

questionnaire for citizens

Ordinary citizens are the largest and most vulnerable groups of soil pollution. Their living conditions and their attitudes are a matter of great concern to us. Before we identified the project theme, we investigated the environmental concerns of the public and Collected their attitude towards synthetic biology, combined with the work that iGEM had done a few years ago, we found that soil contaminants were a problem that was widespread concern but was not well addressed.
