Chris Palmer and Renee Baldwin asked is
the change color immediate and is it
permanent it actually takes about 48
hours for you to be able to see the
change to your eye that's okay for a
pollutant however for other things we
have very sensitive cameras that can
pick up the changes in about 2 hours and
it's not rep permanent not permanent
these plants can easily reset and find
that pollutant again and again or that
bomb again and
again this question is from Gabriel tasa
what are your hopes for how these plants
may be used great question I'd like
these plants to be used to enable
Ordinary People to know if their air and
water is clean to find bombs in places
like airports in public areas shopping
centers um Sports Arenas I'd like to
have them around chemical plants around
any areas that are unprotected or under
protected this question is from Bill TS
is this Botanical alternative more
viable than mechanical chemical
procedures we already have in place and
if so how absolutely we do have Elegant
chem chemical mechanical and electronic
systems in place to sense things however
they need batteries they need plugs and
they need a lot of Maintenance and most
of the cost actually comes from the
maintenance of these items plants only
need sunlight and
water okay this question is from Claire
Pacho can these plants be grown fast and
cheap will the average person eventually
be able to use them to make sure their
home or neighborhood is safe absolutely
that's the whole idea the cost per unit
is less than a penny want the average
person and you don't need a PhD to know
if your air and water is clean if you
can put one of our detector plants
around your home or in your neighborhood
