We investigated the association between exposure to air pollution from livestock farms and the nasopharyngeal microbiota in individuals with COPD compared to healthy control subjects. The study included nasopharyngeal swabs from 186 currently non-smoking participants in the Netherlands, including 65 individuals with COPD and 121 without from a regional rural cohort. Additionally, 116 individuals from a population-wide cohort were included as national controls. Samples were taken at three time points over 12 weeks. The nasopharyngeal microbiota was studied using 16\u00a0S rRNA gene-based sequencing for all baseline samples and a random selection of 6-weeks and 12-weeks samples. Dispersion models were used to determine the average concentrations of livestock-related PM\n                    <jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>\n                    , endotoxin, and ammonia at the participants\u2019 home addresses. Individuals with COPD had a higher absolute abundance of anaerobic bacteria, such as\n                    <jats:italic>Peptoniphilus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Anaerococcus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Finegoldia magna<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>Prevotella<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Importantly,\u00a0residential exposure to ammonia was identified as the most important driver of the microbial community composition, explaining 6.6% of the variation in nasopharyngeal microbiota in individuals with COPD. Higher ammonia concentrations were associated with decreased levels of key commensals and increased abundance of anaerobic bacteria. Furthermore, individuals living in areas with high livestock density exhibited greater microbial diversity compared to the broader national population. The study highlights the influence of residential exposure to livestock-related air pollution, particularly ammonia, on nasopharyngeal microbiota composition in individuals with COPD. Our findings suggest that environmental factors significantly impact microbial communities and underscore the potential role of anaerobic bacteria in COPD pathology. Future research should further investigate the mechanisms by which environmental air pollutants affect microbial communities and explore potential interventions to mitigate their effects on respiratory health.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-025-00242-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,5]],"date-time":"2025-05-05T03:10:23Z","timestamp":1746414623000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Nasopharyngeal microbiota is influenced by agricultural air pollution in individuals with and without COPD"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Mari-Lee","family":"Odendaal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Taenzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Myrna M.
