Neo-P1 has been genetically modified to produce metabolic pathways capable of detoxifying air pollutants. It works, for example, by converting chemicals to sugars and nitrogen oxides (noxious substances) into an ATP molecule, which the plant can then use to produce proteins.

A mass extinction event is triggered when a species dies much more rapidly than it is being reproduced. This is because of extreme variations in temperature, rising sea levels, or massive volcano's erupting....
