Comment: Scientists have genetically modified an indoor plant using rabbit\'s DNA to help clear dangerous chemicals from our homes.
Modern industrial life means that a series of dangerous chemicals will accumulate in our families.
Known as volatile organic carcinogens (VOCs)
These chemicals, including methane and benzene, are too small for the HEPA air filter.
Due to the chlorine process used to kill harmful bacteria and make our water safe to drink, methane is present in tap water in most cities.
This tiny molecule can be released into the air by evaporation caused by a hot shower, and the bathroom is poorly ventilated and can spread in the air around the home.
Benzene is another small molecule found in oil and some candles that can be released from a small amount of stored gasoline to the home
Drive a car and mower in the attached garage, or light some candles indoors.
Both safroform and benzene are classified as harmful organic contaminants and have been shown to be harmful to our health at high concentrations.
Most families don\'t have these chemicals at a high level, so there shouldn\'t be too many concerns --
But for families with young children, or families who have been exposed to these chemicals in their daily work, finding a way to remove them may become more important.
Scientists at the University of Washington decided to try to create a living solution instead of building a mechanical machine to try to remove the chemicals, and the results looked positive.
In the form of synthesis of rabbit gene p4502e1, insert it into a plant called Devil Ivy (
Halo)
The researchers created a plant that functions almost like a liver, removing harmful chemicals from the air.
As a common indoor plant, it can be easily placed anywhere in the home.
This gene was found in many mammals.
Including human
And responsible for producing a liver enzyme that breaks down a series of chemical pollutants in the body.
In our human liver, this enzyme is used whenever we drink alcohol to help our body deal with potentially toxic drinks.
It is also used to convert benzene into phenol and methane into carbon dioxide and chlorine.
A huge advantage of using plants is that they use carbon dioxide, chlorine, and phenol to make food and cell wall structures, so
The products produced from the decomposition of these atmospheric pollutants were quickly used by factories to help it grow-a win-win situationwin.
The study, published in the journal Environment, Science and Technology, found that after placing the improved plants in a controlled environment rich in VOCs, only three days later, the concentration of methane decreased by 82, and after eight days, the content of benzene decreased by 75.
The devil Ivy is a widely planted indoor plant that can endure low levels of light and water.
Even with extreme neglect, it can survive, which makes it perfect for our horrible owners of indoor plants.
All that is needed is a nearby fan to help increase the airflow so that the factory can filter more air in the room.
However, with New Zealand\'s strict laws on genetically modified plants, which have just been approved for sale in Canada, we may not see it here soon.
At the same time, the best way to reduce indoor air pollution is to keep the home well ventilated, either open the windows in the summer or run the heat pump in the winter.
