Plants protects from cancer-causing pollution


Plants protects from cancer causing pollution

Plants such as money plants, planted in homes not only provides oxygen but can also be effective in protecting from serious illness like cancer Scientists have succeeded in making changes in the genes of a plant.

Researchers said that today there are many air filters, which are capable of protecting the pollution particles inside the house.
But there are some microscopic particles in the air, which are not possible for these filters to handle. Chloroform and benzene particles are such pollutants. Chloroform also has a very small amount of water found in chlorine. By boiling water, chloroform particles come into the air. Likewise, the carriage of benzene in the garage near the house is expected to dissolve in the air. Both benzene and chloroform have been found to be related to cancer. In such a case, the microscopic nature of the house can prove to be fatal.

Scientists changed the plant Gene.

Researchers from Washington University of America have made changes in the genus of Pothos Ivy (money plant like species) to get rid of these microbial particles. Through this change, scientists activated the 2 E-1 protein. This protein transforms benzene and chloroform into molecules that help in plant growth.
