“…It was reported that accumulation of SO 2 and NO x could result in a lower pH value of rainwater (Li et al, 2019), and difference of pH would further lead to composition change in local microbiota (Vongsa et al, 2019). Available evidence indicate that long-term air pollution could accelerate skin aging (Vierktter et al, 2010;Ding et al, 2017), and some human skin diseases, such as acne (Liu et al, 2018), atopic dermatitis (AD; Ahn, 2014), and eczema (Pesce et al, 2015), were also reported to be associated with dysbiosis of skin microbiota (Fitz-Gibbon et al, 2013;Chng et al, 2016;Dybboe et al, 2017;Shibagaki et al, 2017;Kim et al, 2019;Reiger et al, 2020). On the one hand, it was uncovered that exposure to atmospheric-equivalent O 3 levels for 2 h could halve the skin microbiome of women's forearm (He et al, 2006).…”
