It can even capture volatile organic compounds.
The company genetically engineered both a pothos plant and its associated root microbiome to produce Neo P1, a powerful air purifier. Now, the new super-efficient plant has hit the market, and it could very well revolutionize the air purification industry.The new invention is bound to be popular.
However, plants are designed to be able to catch, absorb and metabolize even the smallest of particles. Neo P1 does exactly that and comes in the shape of one of the most common plants. This was no easy task, however, as the pothos vine, which is also known as devil’s ivy, had not had its genome mapped. The Neoplants team, therefore, began with this task.The whole ordeal lasted four years, but in the end, the engineers produced a plant that can metabolize four major indoor air pollutants, including formaldehyde and toluene, and that can even absorb certain VOCs.The engineers did not stop there.
