From conversation to action: implementation of the National Conversation on Public Health and Chemical Exposures
Nielsen JA . J Environ Health 2012 75 (3) 38-39 As our society has advanced, chemicals | have become increasingly present in | our air, water, food and homes; thus, | a key responsibility of environmental health | professionals is to protect the public from these | chemical exposures. In 2009, the Centers for | Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and | the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease | Registry (ATSDR) launched the National Conversation on Public Health and Chemical Exposures project to help address national concerns about toxic exposures (Frumkin, 2009). | The goal of the National Conversation was to | develop an Action Agenda with clear, achievable recommendations to help government | agencies and other organizations strengthen | their efforts to protect the public from harmful chemical exposures. CDC and ATSDR | engaged a broad range of groups and individuals—government agencies, professional | organizations, tribal groups, community and | nonprofit organizations, health professionals, | business and industry leaders, and members | of the public—to assist with this undertaking. This group developed the Action Agenda | (“Addressing Public Health and Chemical Exposures: An Action Agenda”— www.national | conversation.us/action-agenda) and released it | in June 2011. |
