5 Preface We have the great pleasure of setting afloat the first volume of Current Topics in Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine (EHPM), a book series by the Japanese Society for Hygiene (JSH). This first volume, Biological Effects of Fibrous and Particulate Substances, is now published. We sincerely appreciate all the authors contributing their wonderful reviews on the theme of this book. All of you who read it can enjoy learning more about the cellular and molecular mechanisms for the biological effects of fibrous and particulate substances including nanomaterials, various effects of nanomaterials, immunological effects of silica and asbestos, and particularly autoimmunity and antitumor immunity. In this ebook, you can learn about biological, especially immunological, effects caused by fibrous and particulate matters such as asbestos fibers and silica particles as well as nanomaterials from the basic cellular and molecular biological aspects and points of view closely related to clinical work. You and we too are learning about recent advances in the study of the immunological effects of fibrous and particulate materials and can imagine and consider how we can translate these findings into therapy. In this respect, we are thinking of the clinical patients who are suffering from diseases due to exposure to these materials as well as people who are in localities that pose higher risks for exposure to these substances and how we can develop preventive and therapeutic methods and tools for these individuals in short, how scientific achievements can support and cure them. We truly appreciate your having this book, so that you and we together can proceed hand in hand toward the aims described above.

7 Acknowledgments The Japanese Society for Hygiene (JSH) is publishing two journals: the Japanese Journal of Hygiene (JJH) and Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine (EHPM). EHPM is an international journal with a history of 20 years and is registered in Medline and Journal Citation Report (it will obtain its initial impact factor in 2016). In the year 2014, the editorial board members decided to publish a book series to spread our interests more widely regarding environmental health and preventive medicine and to provide first-rate knowledge to the world by contributing to progress in those fields. I thank Professors Holian and Yoshioka for their skillful editing and organization of this publication. As the editor in chief of this book series, I will proceed to publish many diverse topics in EHPM fields during the coming 5 years. Readers can look forward to the publication of the next and the next ones. I thank the city of Kurashiki, where my medical school is located, surrounded by idyllic scenes and which includes a historical downtown. Furthermore, I should say special thanks to Rie, Riyu, and Yukimi, my family, for their support, making it possible for me to concentrate on my research as well as editing this ebook. I am always glad to see their faces, and I appreciate the communication among us. Kurashiki, Japan Takemi Otsuki vii
