Reports: Public Health Assessments and Consultations
EHAP conducts Public Health Assessments (see PHAs listed below) by reviewing information about contaminants in the air, water or soil at the site and how people could come into contact with them. The assessment also includes a review of available information on community-wide rates of illness, disease and death, and any community health concerns, such as reports from the public about how the site affects their health or quality of life.
Public Health Consultations (see PHCs listed below) are similar to Public Health Assessments , but they usually focus on one specific, site-related public health question. Health consultations can also address certain requests, such as if an organization or citizen has a specific health concern related to a site. These health consultations, which are intended to prevent or reduce exposures, may lead to recommendations for specific actions, such as restricting use of or replacing water supplies, performing environmental sampling, restricting site access or removing contaminated materials.
