State policy makers have a critical impact on environmental health, as they enact policies and provide funding that address emerging environmental health issues and allow environmental health infrastructure to function. States introduce thousands of environmental health related bills (nearly 4000 in 2018), passing a portion of these each year. These bills and enacted laws are in response to emerging environmental health threats like Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) compounds or incidents of contamination like the Flint water crisis, or to address primary prevention, like carbon monoxide detector requirements or policy strategies to institutionalize cross sector partnerships, and many things in between from scope of practice related to body art to raw milk, cottage foods and food trucks. Join leadership from CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the National Conference for State Legislatures and local environmental health practitioners to learn how states are addressing emerging environmental health issues through state policies.
