Modern radiological imaging is a important diagnostic tool for the correct management of these diseases. This volume, unique in its concept, not only covers in a comprehensive way the imag- ing features of the well-known coal worker’s pneumoconiosis and the severe forms of silicosis and asbestosis, but also deals extensively with the effects of new organic and inorganic materials , used in the modern chemical industry as well as with the noxious effects of cigarette smoking. The eminently readable text is complemented by superb illustrations. The editors, P.A. Gevenois and P. De Vuyst are well-known experts in the fi eld. The authors of the individual chapters are outstanding specialists in the epidemiology, eti- ology, immunology, pathology, pathophysiology, and radiology of dust inhalation dis- eases. I would like to thank and to congratulate most sincerely the editors and the authors for their top-level contributions. This superb book will be of great value for general and chest radiologists but also for pneumologists and all those active in occupational and environmental medicine. It provides them with the latest information on a very interesting medical fi eld with an important medicosocial impact. I am confi dent that it will meet the same success with the readers as many previous volumes in this series. Leuven Albert L. Baert Foreword ...
