Environmental Public Health in Action
These posters serve to meet the above learning objectives and will provide tools and learnings for others from local environmental public health agencies - ones that attendees can take "home" and put into practice. They will also detail the range of issues facing those in environmental health practice and the resultant solutions used to address those issues. The poster format lends itself to further discussion & exchange between attendees and presenters
Learning Objectives: 1. Demonstrate environmental health practice in variety of media and areas (e.g., air, water & work, residential, school settings. 2. Provide environmental health case studies and tools that serve as models for other agencies to use. 3. Illustrate the variety and depth of environmental health practice along with future directions.
