This website is designed to provide you with access to health and environmental information for Massachusetts. It was developed as part of a national effort by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to make environmental health data more available to the public and policymakers.
The information available through the MA EPHT Program includes:
| Health Data: Birth Defects Cancer Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Childhood Lead Levels Hospitalization for Asthma and Heart Attack Pediatric Asthma Childhood Lead Poisoning |
Environmental Data: Air Quality Drinking Water Quality |
A key feature of this website is that you can make tables, charts, and maps of environmental and health data for the community that you live in. This website also provides important background information including limitations associated with the data. It is important to stress that the data cannot be used to determine the cause of disease. They can be used to identify areas where public health actions can be taken.
We look forward to sharing this important information with you and welcome your comments and suggestions as we move forward.
