Engineered ‘Superplant’ Cleans Indoor Air Like 30 Regular Plants
I would love to see some numbers and comparisons. As I said in a reply below, I suspect this is functionally ineffectual and that 30x the air cleaning of a regular plant is like saying 30x the intelligence of a regular plant.<p>I suspect this is functioning as a shiny, attractive prototype to fund further research to develop a 300x or 3000x plant or something in that neighbourhood. No judgment from me for that, prototype funding a bigger plan is a cool business model. I&#x27;d just love to get some absolute data.<p>EDIT: Reading a little bit about the NASA plant study[0] that I saw in the comments below. It says that it determined that you&#x27;d need 10-1000 plants per square meter (I don&#x27;t understand this measurement? Wouldn&#x27;t it be cubic meter?) to get the equivalent of outdoor-indoor air exchange. That&#x27;s a really wide range, but does this mean you&#x27;d need 0.33...-33.33... of these neoplants to have the same impact? That&#x27;s a lot of plants, but another 10x or 100x and you&#x27;re actually getting somewhere in the range of reasonable. Counterpoint, I don&#x27;t know what I&#x27;m talking about.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;NASA_Clean_Air_Study" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;NASA_Clean_Air_Study</a>
