Environmental Health

The Environmental Health Unit is responsible for investigating and monitoring environmental health concerns in all Atlantic County municipalities except for Atlantic City. Inspections and investigations performed by the Unit address the protection and prevention of environmental factors that may adversely impact human health or the ecological balances essential to sustained human health and environmental quality. This is accomplished through assessing, correcting, controlling and preventing those factors in the environment that can potentially adversely affect the health of the residents of Atlantic County.
