Social media was both an incubator for misinformation that local health officials have had to combat as well as a strategic tool that health departments used to inform the behavioral health of the public during the pandemic.
One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and trans-disciplinary approach — working at the local, regional, national, and global levels — with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.
Homes built before 1980 are at a higher risk of having been built with asbestos containing materials (ACMs) than those built after 1980. This is dangerous because exposure to asbestos greatly increases the chances of developing a health condition, such as mesothelioma cancer or asbestosis later in life.
As part of the National Association of County and City Health Officials’ (NACCHO’s) work to support and serve 3,000 local health departments (LHDs) in the United States, NACCHO has been releasing a bi-weekly blog consisting of an up-to-date collection of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) resources for our members working at the intersection of environmental health and COVID-19.
This year, September 26 marks the 17th anniversary of Mesothelioma Awareness Day (MAD), and sparks an opportunity for advocacy, prevention, and education for this cancer.
On July 1, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences will host its Fourth Annual Global Environmental Health Day, and launch an updated and expanded Climate Change and Human Health Literature Portal.
The theme for this year’s World Environmental Health Day, celebrated on Sept. 26, calls for unified action among the global environmental health community to tackle climate change.
