Skip to navigation The Environmental and Occupational Health
Surveillance (EOHS) Program is committed to understanding the
public health impact of human exposure to hazardous substances
in the environment and in the workplace, providing information
to the public, and preventing disease and injury by the
reduction or elimination of exposures and hazards. The
activities of the EOHS Program encompass the following areas: -
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment: Staff in this project
conducts health assessments in communities where New Jersey
residents may have been exposed to hazardous chemicals in their
environment. They also study the possible health impacts that
Superfund and other hazardous waste sites could have on nearby
residents. - Occupational Health Surveillance: Staff in this
Unit uses multiple data sources to track workplace injuries and
illnesses. They use this information to develop intervention
strategies and provide employers with practical solutions to
reduce hazards in New Jersey workplaces. -
