Key Publications
These publications related to environmental health are
offered as a starting point to better understanding health
and environmental issues and the relationship between the
two. We excluded most journal articles due to copyright
issues and space limitations. A bibliography of those
articles will be made available in the future. Resources
with a focus on public health actions (i.e.
Protocol for Assessing Community Excellence in Environmental
Health by the National Association of County and
City Health Officials) were also excluded from this
list - they will be included in a future issue of the
newsletter and our searchable database on our website.
