Environmental Public Health activities focus on prevention, preparedness, and education and are implemented through routine monitoring, education, surveillance and sampling of facilities and conditions that may contribute to the occurrence or transmission of disease. Environmental Public Health programs are an essential part of Florida’s public health system.
