Core Tip	Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort and altered bowel habits. The etiology of IBS has not been fully elucidated; however, recent studies point at environmental pollution and its role in the development of IBS. Here we focus on several environmental factors, such as bacterial contamination, air pollution, radiation and even stress as potential triggers of IBS; we also propose novel targets in IBS treatment.
