| Short description: |
Good information is essential for producing appropriate health protection policy: to identify the areas where action is most needed; to identify new threats and tackle them; and to assess how effective our measures have been. This is why the Environment and Health Action Plan 2004-2010 proposes an information system on Environment and Health.
The first step in designing any new system is to review the systems in place at the moment as well as current and past research projects. This will allow us to highlight research and development needs for making the information accessible in a more harmonised way in the future. Implementation is organised around the specific exposure routes highlighted on the right, together with two more cross-cutting issues: Physical stressors, such as noise and radiation; and experience with Environmental Public Health Tracking Systems so far, and in particular in the USA.
Draft documents have already been produced for those areas for which links are provided.
