Abstract:Chlorination disinfection byproducts (CDBPs) can exert adverse human health effects. Many toxicology-based studies confirmed the health hazards of CDBPs, but little research has been done on gut microbiome.

The results showed that CDBPs slightly inhibited the production of short-chain fatty acids, and the abundance of Actinobacteria decreased in the transverse colon and descending colo… Show more
