About NCEH and EHSB
NCEH Mission
The National Center for Environmental Health plans, directs,
and coordinates a national program to maintain and improve the health
of people in the United States by promoting a healthy
environment and by preventing premature death and avoidable illness and disability
caused by noninfectious, nonoccupational environmental and related
factors.
EHSB Objective
The objective of the Environmental Health Services Branch (EHSB) is to strengthen the role of state, local, and national environmental health programs and professionals to better anticipate, identify, and respond to adverse environmental exposures and the human health consequences of these exposures.
The services developed through EHSB include access to topical, relevant, scientific information, consultation, and assistance to environmental health specialists, sanitarians, environmental health professionals and practitioners.
