Biotech company Neoplants just released the first houseplant grown to reduce indoor air pollution.
This plant, called Neo Px, gets its pollution-eating superpower from genetically engineered bacteria.
Neo Px can remove 30 times more VOC's, harmful indoor pollutants, than a typical houseplant.

Looking at Neo Px, you'd never know that it was anything but a typical houseplant. But on a microscopic level, this plant is supercharged with billions of pollution-eating bacteria.
