The Pennsylvania Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) program delivers data to protect Pennsylvanians from environmental hazards that could harm their health. The program monitors environmental exposures and related health outcomes, measuring changes over time and differences between regions in the state. EPHT provides a virtual platform to think critically about ways to address environmental health problems. It seeks to inform health interventions and policy initiatives by identifying groups, such as those living in Environmental Justice (EJ) communities, that bear an unequal burden of environmental pollution. It aims to be a centralized source of accessible and accurate environmental health information to promote a healthy Pennsylvania for all.
EPHT Initiatives
The Environmental Public Health Tracking Program is funded by the National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
