Welke kamerplanten zuiveren de lucht in huis? Geen enkele.
Zo wordt online in ieder geval vaak beweerd. Hier klopt alleen weinig van. Kamerplanten zijn fraai, maar ze doen weinig om de lucht binnenshuis te zuiveren, ...
resultaten van zijn onderzoek
Milieudeskundige Stuart Strand van de University of Washington deed experimenten met genetisch gemodificeerde planten die beter in staat zouden zijn om de lucht in huis te zuiveren. In 2019 publiceerde hij de <anchor>resultaten van zijn onderzoek</anchor>. Tijdens de experimenten probeerden Strand en zijn team een drakenklimop genetisch te modificeren met behulp van een eiwit dat voorkomt in de lever van zoogdieren en dat ons lichaam produceert om alcohol af te breken.

The indoor air in urban homes of developed countries is usually contaminated with significant levels of volatile organic carcinogens (VOCs), such as formaldehyde, benzene, and chloroform. There is a need for a practical, sustainable technology for the removal of VOCs in homes. Here we show that a detoxifying transgene, mammalian cytochrome P450 _2e1_ can be expressed in a houseplant, _Epipremnum aureum_, pothos ivy, and that the resulting genetically modified plant has sufficient detoxifying activity against benzene and chloroform to suggest that biofilters using transgenic plants could remove VOCs from home air at useful rates.
