What to make of this???
Forget GMOs, scientists are creating bionic plants

"Call it the rise of the nanobionic super-plants: Researchers at MIT are giving plants super powers by placing tiny carbon nanotubes deep within their cells.
Some of the altered plants increased their photosynthetic activity by 30% compared with regular old plants. Others were able to detect tiny traces of pollutants in the air.
And that's just the beginning."
Comment:
Maybe plants of this type could monitor the air around the PGV facility?

Assume the best and ask questions.
