Condition(s) studied

Microbial Colonization

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Visiting a green space

Visiting a green space: Participants are asked to visit a green space for a defined time period

Study summary

The goal of this study is to understand how visiting green areas affects the human microbiome through microbial transfer. Additionally, the project aims to understand which environmental, health and lifestyle factors can influence these microbiome changes. Participants will visit a green area, provide microbiome samples before and after the visit, and complete questionnaires related to environmental, health, lifestyle and demographic factors.
