Overview figure representing co-exposure induced pulmonary and intestinal alteration. Neutrophils, eosinophils and B cells were significantly increased in the lungs after multiple CB + O3 co-exposure. Microbial alpha diversity and total bacterial load were reduced in the lungs. CB + O3 exposure also significantly induced serum short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and oxidant level (BALF, serum and gut tissue). Gut total bacterial load, Lactobacillus and Bididobacterium significantly increased after multiple CB + O3 exposure
