Environmental Epidemiology Program

We protect the health of Massachusetts residents in several ways: by collecting data on diseases and conditions that could be related to exposure to environmental contaminants, by evaluating patterns of environmentally related diseases in the Commonwealth, and by making health and environmental information by community available to the public on our Environmental Public Health Tracking Program’s website.
