Environmental Health
The primary purpose of Environmental Health is to protect the public’s health through the application of principles of environmental science and epidemiology to identify, control, and/or eliminate pathogenic agents (Biological, Chemical, and Physical) and to limit the incidence and spread of disease in the community.
This is accomplished by the administration of preventive measures designed to monitor, identify, and abate potential and imminent health hazards through a cooperative application of federal, state and local environmental health laws, rules, and regulations.
