Why do you think the purpose of our project is important?
I think it is crucial to protect our planet and we should do anything that helps that mission. Phthalates not only are hazardous to humans but also to animals like fish or seals so it is our duty to try and solve this problem.

I believe that taking on the problem of EDCs is an important step towards fighting pollution on a larger scale. As iGEM members, we can also help society spot the problem - and that's important.
