National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program Week: We Track That!

Air quality, community design, children’s environmental health, water, climate and health… We Track That!

CDC is sponsoring the first ever National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program Week (Tracking Week) during July 11-15, 2016. CDC, state and local health departments, and national partners are coming together to highlight environmental health issues important to improving the health of our nation and to recognize the work of the Tracking Program. Daily topics relate to this year’s theme: We Track That.

Daily Topics:

CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network is a dynamic surveillance system that provides information and data about environmental hazards and the health problems that may be related to them. It presents what we know about where environmental hazards exist, where exposures happen, and how targeted action can protect health, reduce illness, and save lives. The Tracking Network is a unique resource that brings together environmental and health information that cannot be found, or is hard to find, anywhere else.
