| As modern society evolves, so does the way in which environmental health deals with its core challenges. Public health pest management, wastewater, food safety and professional training are some of the programmatic areas that are in every state in America. This session will focus on these areas and describe each one within the context of modern society. The public health pest management portion of this session will focus on: (a) the importance of public health pest management, (b) the reasons why the strength of public health pest management programs are subject to political agendas, (c) the social context that affects disease morbidity and mortality rates, (d) the heightened concerns surrounding West Nile Virus that lead to capacity improvements, (e) Arbonet and its uses to address disease. The wastewater section will address: (a) the public health and land use context in which centralized wastewater treatment became the favored urban wastewater infrastructure, (b) the advantages and disadvantages of decentralized wastewater treatment, and (c) proposals to implement public health management and responsibility for safe and healthy decentralized wastewater treatment systems. The session will continue to discuss the unique sets of circumstances of railroad passenger food service. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At completion of this session, the participant will be able to: (a) Understand that public health pest management, food safety, and wastewater are critical core components of environmental health, (b) recognize that modern social, political and physical climates can influence the ways in which environmental health deals with these core components, and (c) determine ways in which environmental health can protect the public's health by making infrastructure decisions. | |||
