Public Health Assessments and Consultations
The Tennessee Department of Health's (TDH) Environmental Epidemiology Program (EEP) is responsible for environmental public health activities that relate to chemical exposures and pollution in Tennessee. We are funded through a cooperative agreement with the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). As we interpret environmental sampling data to protect public health, we often produce written publications. The following list of environmental public health investigations links to downloadable PDF versions of our documents.
