Environmental Health
Working for Healthier Surroundings
Health and well-being are influenced by many environmental factors, including the intentional and unintentional exposure to environmental agents. THD Environmental Health Services works to enforce state laws and city and county regulations to decrease negative environmental factors and health nuisances. Areas addressed include sanitation, housing code compliance and the air quality concerns about commercial enterprises. This department also provides rodent and mosquito control, as well as a dead bird surveillance program for the purpose of monitoring for West Nile Virus activity. Environmental laboratory services are also available for water testing, lead-based paint testing and more.
