Survey

In order to determine how the public would react to our project, we decided to conduct an international survey of 1000 people. The survey was designed not only to cover the principle aspects of the public’s view on genetically modified organisms (GMOs); but also to see the level of knowledge the public had towards the waste water industry and how our organism would fit within the current methods used to treat wastewater. We also looked at how education level and age might affect the public's view of GMOs.
