Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by intense pruritus and complex immunopathogenic mechanisms. Recent evidence has highlighted the critical link between dysregulated intestinal microecology and altered immune responses in AD progression. As essential components of the intestinal microenvironment, metabolites play pivotal roles in various physiological processes.

Background: Increasing evidence supports an association of endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) exposures with adverse biological effects in humans and wildlife. Recent studies reveal that health consequences of environmental exposures may persist or emerge across generations. This creates a dual conundrum: that we are exposed to contemporary environmental chemicals overlaid upon the inheritance of our ancestors' exposure profiles.

Pine needle, pine bark, and soil samples were collected from various regions in South Korea, considering the suitability of vegetation samples as passive samplers. A total of 27 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed using a gas chromatograph/high-resolution mass spectrometer (GC/HRMS). The total concentrations of OCPs ranged between 650 and 3652 pg/g dw in soil, 215 and 1384 pg/g ww in pine needles, and 456 and 1723 pg/g ww in pine bark.
