An model system for testing chemical effects on microbiome-immune interactions - examples with BPX and PFAS mixtures.

Introduction: More than 350,000 chemicals make up the chemical universe that surrounds us every day. The impact of this vast array of compounds on our health is still poorly understood. Manufacturers are required to carry out toxicological studies, for example on the reproductive or nervous systems, before putting a new substance on the market.
