== 1. Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of: researcher safety, public safety, or environmental safety? ==
Gaston Day School’s nitrate detector does not pose any significant risk to researcher or public safety since, as a high school, we are restricted to working with organisms and chemicals at BioSafety Level 1. Any environmental detector has the potential to be released into the environment. If released, potential issues include the spread of plasmids carrying antibiotic resistances and introduction of synthetic genes into new populations. These safety issues are related to the use of a finalized product and not to the production of the biobrick.
