PCBbuster Poll

Our goals :

- To determine whether the French are aware of the consequences and the state of water pollution today.

- To know if the French know about PCBS and about the different types of pollution in the Seine

- To understand and know the french opinion about GMO

- To know if french people know about synthetic biology

Our PCBbuster poll :

1. Do you feel concerned about water pollution ? And about the Seine pollution ?

2. Can you give a mark between 1 and 10 to qualify the degree of pollution of the Seine ?

3. According to you, what are the main pollutant in the Seine ?

4. Have you ever heard about PCBs?

5. We are a student team of the Paris-Saclay University , we participate this year to a international competition, and we work on designing an efficient and cheap method to degrade PCBs, what do you think about it ?

6. And if I tell you that this method uses GMO ?

7. What do think about GMO ? Why ? Are you affraid of it ?

8. Have you heard of synthetic biology and of its objectives ?
