Lung-gut axis of microbiome alterations following co-exposure to ultrafine carbon black and ozone
Background Microbial dysbiosis is a potential mediator of air pollution-induced adverse outcomes. However, a systemic comparison of the lung and gut microbiome alterations and lung-gut axis following air pollution exposure is scant.
