What are the main risks involved in biosafety?

The main risks involved in biosafety include the following aspects: 1. Bioterrorism: Terrorists may use biological agents to attack and release deadly pathogens or toxins, posing a threat to public health and social stability. 2. Laboratory accident: The biological materials in the laboratory may be leaked or mishandled, resulting in the release of pathogens or harmful substances, posing potential risks to the staff and the surrounding environment. 3. Natural disasters: Natural disasters (such as floods and earthquakes) may lead to the destruction of biological laboratories or biosafety facilities, which will lead to the leakage of pathogens or toxins and increase the risks to public health and the environment. 4. Biotechnology safety: Safety problems that may occur in the application of biotechnology, such as misuse or abuse of gene editing technology, may lead to unknown consequences and potential risks. 5. Cross-border transmission: pathogens may spread across borders through animals, people or goods, triggering a global outbreak of infectious diseases and posing a major threat to global public health and economy.
