This survey focuses on environmental health, which relates to the relationships between people, their health, and the environment. Important issues include air, soil, and water quality, the effects of climate change and natural disasters on our communities’ well-being, and access to safe food and housing. The survey asks about “environmental health issues,” which means problems in the environment that can affect human health. This could include problems in the natural environment (soil, water, air) or the built environment (building materials, indoor air quality). The survey also has questions that focus on especially worrisome environmental health issues, such as natural disasters and climate change.
