NIEHS goals
NIEH makes efforts in order to achieve that
- the attitude of prevention, i.e. the avoidance of diseases of environmental origin, gets incorporated into national development programs and sectorial policies;
- inequalities in health stemming from environmental factors are mitigated;
- vulnerable population groups are paid specific attention in safety programs (water safety, environmental safety);
- health policy principles are enforced by means of providing technical instructions to the environmental health surveillance system; and
- choosing and developing healthy community and residential environments become general.
