Dr. Indra Roux, a researcher at the University of Cambridge's MRC Toxicology Unit and the study's first author, said: "We've found that many chemicals designed to act only on one type of target, say insects or fungi, also affect gut bacteria. We were surprised that some of these chemicals had such strong effects. For example, many industrial chemicals like flame retardants and plasticizers -- that we are regularly in contact with -- weren't thought to affect living organisms at all, but they do."

Professor Kiran Patil, senior author of the study and also based at the University of Cambridge's MRC Toxicology Unit, added: "The real power of this large-scale study is that we now have the data to predict the effects of new chemicals, with the aim of moving to a future where new chemicals are safe by design."

It also gives us a potential target for new and already existing drugs."
