The primary purpose
of Environmental Health is to protect the public
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.
