Houseplants have long been used to ____(1)____(suppress) indoor air pollution levels, but research shows they do not completely remove some of the___(2)___ (toxic) air pollutants present inside houses.
To address the challenge, scientists from the department of civil and environmental engineering, University of Washington, ___(3)___(observed)a mammalian gene CYP2E1 to a common houseplant, pothos ivy epipremnumaureum), locally known as the ‘money plant’, to boost the plant’s detoxifying potential.
The___(4)___ (invented)plant has a protein called cytochrome P450 2E1, which ___(5)___ (produces)these compounds into molecules that plants can then use to support their own growth. The team then injected benzene and chloroform gas into closed vials that contained growing plants to test them for 11 days.
“After three days, the concentration of chloroform in vials ___(16)___(fall)by nearly 82 % and was barely detectable on the eighth day. The concentration of benzene also decreased in the modified plant vials, but more slowly,” according to the research team. Concentrations of compounds in vials containing unmodified ivy, however, showed no change.
“It is an example of the ‘green liver’ concept,” said professor Stuart Strand, the senior author. “People haven’t really been talking about these___(7)___(infectious) organic compounds in homes and I think that’s because we could not do anything about them. Now we have engineered houseplants to remove these pollutants for us,” he said.
The entire process took more than two years. “That is a long time, ___(8)___(compared) to other lab plants, which might take only a few months. However, we wanted to do this in pothos because it’s a robust houseplant that grows well under all sort of conditions,” said lead author Long Zhang. It also does not flower, so there is no risk of releasing transgenes into the environment.
The research has been___(9)___ (displayed)in the ‘Environment Science and Technology’ journal.
The research is significant as air inside homes often contain hazardous volatile organic compounds such as chloroform, which is present in small amounts in chlorinated water, or benzene, a component of gasoline. These build up in houses when we shower or boil water, or when we store cars or lawn mowers in attached garages. Both benzene and chloroform exposure have been known to be carcinogenic to___(10)___(efficacious) population such as children.
