Environmental Health Programs and Services Portal
In 2019, ASTHO fielded the Environmental Health Programs and Services Survey to environmental health directors within state and territorial health agencies to understand the location of various environmental health services in each jurisdiction.
This dashboard presents comprehensive information about the location of various environmental health programs and services provided by state and territorial health agencies. Aside from Alaska, whose state environmental health director is located in the state’s environmental agency, responses to this survey were provided by state and territorial health agency staff.
