Functions of the Environmental Health Division

The Environmental Health Division provides a wide variety of services to the community to reduce the risk of contracting disease or experiencing other health effects from pathogens in the environment. The following is a list of the programs we administer with links to detailed information about the programs and to information concerning how the public can protect themselves from environmental threats.
