Sustainable Health Science—a new field of science for future generations. Sustainable Health Science involves other scientific fields other than medical science to protect future generations’ health. To improve indoor air quality, a model town with fewer chemicals (Chemiless Town) is being built and the relationship between the air quality and human health is being researched. In Chemiless Town, there is Clinic for Environmental Medicine, and people can go for a health examination to assess exposure to chemicals. If the contamination level is high at reproductive age, women receive advice and life intervention to reduce the level of contamination. Also, a trial of an education program is being conducted, to increase the number of leaders who understand the meaning of scientific research results and who can explain the problem precisely to citizens. In this way, the fruit of the Sustainable Health Science will contribute to healthy growth of future generations
