Exposure to Household Chemicals Affects Gut Microbiome
Research finds children at greater risk for chemical exposures and resulting consequences
A study out of Washington State University, in collaboration with Duke University, has found the first evidence linking exposure to household chemicals with impacts on the gut microbiomes of children.
Published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology Letters, the pioneering study could lead to better awareness of the hazards of repeated exposures to common chemicals generally regarded as safe for use in the home.
Chemicals at Home: A Veiled Threat based in North Carolina and funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, sought to gauge the average toddler’s exposure to semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in the indoor environment.

Birgit Claus Henn first developed a curiosity about environmental exposures and children’s health well before she understood the subject as a core area of public health.
As early as second grade, she aspired to be a pediatrician. Then, two middle-school science fair projects one on the effects of pollutants on brine shrimp (sea-monkeys) and another that examined levels of UV protection in lenses sealed the deal.
Now, as an associate professor of environmental health and the director of the PhD program in environmental health at the School of Public Health, Claus Henn has built a solid portfolio of research that explores the issues she first inquired about as a child.
