Details

• Corporate Authors:
  Louisiana. Department of Health
• Description:
  This report provides health and environmental quality data available through the Section of Environmental Epidemiology and Toxicology (SEET) programs, in particular the Environmental Public Health Tracking program (EPHT). It is being provided in response to concerns raised by a physician related to pediatric asthma in East Baton Rouge Parish in an area in close proximity to industry. Several factors may contribute to asthma, and not all could be addressed here. SEET and the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) Office of Public Health look forward to further discussion and review of these data, as well as collaborative steps forward in the generation of activities towards improved public health. SEET is including with this review an article which was recently published related to the management of asthma in schools in Louisiana (Nuss et al, 2016). [Description provided by NIOSH]
