Proposal for submitting to GenScript
Problem:
High concentration of carbon dioxide in enclosed space make people feel sleepy and even dizzy.This can even result in
(1) fell asleep during class.
(2) driver may fell asleep, causing accident to happen.
CO2 analysis:
In order to prove the seriousness , we measure the CO2 concentration in enclosed spaces and analysis the results.
If the concentration of CO2 is between :
● 350~1000 ppm, the air is fresh
● 1000~2000 ppm, people feel the air turbid and start feeling drowsy
● 2000~5000 ppm,people feel headache,lethargy, sluggishness, heart beat
hasten, mild nausea
● above 5000 ppm, it may cause severe hypoxia, coma..
picture(1):
picture (1) is the result of our measure in a simple single room(only one person inside an enclosed space with air condition on .) According to the picture,the concentration had reached to 1000 ppm in a hour. While the subject felt asleep, it slowly declined(We speculate CO2 may leak out from the gaps,and the rate of venting is bigger than the rate of producing.)Until getting up next day,the speed of breathing was back to normal.
picture(2): picture(2)is the result in a regular car with four people in. In eleven minutes, the concentration in the car had increased from 2353 ppm to 4660 ppm.
The result shows if staying in a unventilated room for a long time will have bad influences to our health.(the more people there are,the more CO2 is produced.It may increase the rate of CO2 production and make the problem even worse.)
The problem of excessive CO2 concentration is indeed widely exists in our daily life and may have badly influenced our health.So it is important for people to solve these problems.
Current method: we have gone to National Chung Hsing University,Taichung,Taiwan to search for current methods and come up with a better way.
How: We met Dr. Yu-Chan Chao from Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica through video chat to discuss the paper he published for his research in United States. [Nature (1996) Pest control by fluorescence.] What:
1. He described the biotechnique he developed in the paper. 2. He introduced his current work and research interests in his lab. 3. He gave comments to our project about the blood testing with GE mosquitoes. 4. He encouraged us never give up and continue toward the goal what we set in the beginning. Reflection:
We’re excited about the work Dr. Chao did using GE insect to pest control by fluorescence. It’s not only interesting but also workable. We learned doing scientific research in a lab is not easy at all, as what we experienced in iGEM project this year. However, we’re encouraged from the distinguished researcher and will keep moving forward to our dream.
