In combination, these papers provide a comprehensive and detailed review of current knowledge and of the important issues for policy makers in the future. The volume will be of interest to a wide readership, including industrial and environmental scientists, managers and policymakers. We hope that our readers will find this as illuminating as we have during the editorial work.

The editorial team is also grateful for the valuable support from the Publisher (John Wiley Sons Ltd.), in particular Ms Lynette James, and from the Project Manager (Gray Publishing), in particular Ms Lesley Gray, for their efficient coordination during the planning, review and production phase of this publication effort. 

The completion of this volume marks the happy milestone for me of a 15-year editorial association with Academic Press. It is appropriate, therefore, to acknowledge the professionalism of the staff and management, as well as their manifold contributions to the success of these volumes. It also marks my embarkation on new and more challenging professional pursuits. These ultimately will allow more opportunity to continue to perform the editorial tasks associated with Advances in Clinical Chemistry, as well as other educational and scientific activities. 

There seems to be considerable reluctance in some parts of the medical community to acknowledge the benefits of exercise in the treatment of depression. One meta-analysis of clinical trials showed that physical exercise was as effective as psychotherapy or antidepressant medication and much better than no treatment. But the authors concluded that the effectiveness of exercise in reducing symptoms of depression cannot be determined ,45 and the editors of the journal introduced the article with an editorial comment entitled effectiveness of exercise in managing depression is not shown by meta-analysis .46 Why not Because there were flaws in the way many of the studies had been designed. To be fair, there were indeed shortcomings in the studies, but these shortcomings also characterize clinical trials of antidepressants.47 If clinical trials like these do not establish the effectiveness of physical exercise as a treatment for depression, neither do they establish the effectiveness of antidepressants.
