Abstract

The article discusses what is being done to strengthen the U.S. environmental public health infrastructure and improve the practice of environmental health. The focus of the article is an overview of the 2006 U.S. National Center of Environmental Health (NCEH) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) development of the Environmental Public Health Performance Standards (EnvPHPS). The EnvPHPS is a companion to the National Public Health Performance Standards (NPHPS). Topics include how the two standards can be applied to environmental health and protection programs and examples of what they can accomplish, such as the ability to assess the capacity of a state, tribal, or local government to perform environmental health services essential to a population.
