This study examines how air pollution during pregnancy and early life affects infant brain development via changes in the gut microbiome. We analyze pollution levels, stool samples, and molecular data to link pollution, gut bacteria, and brain growth. The goal is to identify modifiable environmental and biological factors to improve infant brain health and reduce harmful exposures.
