Procedure details
Description
This requires the ongoing identification of environmental influences that are beneficial to health as well as those that pose a health risk and are harmful to health. This is the only way to recognize and implement the necessary corrective measures.
The task of recording and evaluating the effects of environmental influences on human health is the responsibility of the respective health administrations of the districts and independent cities in the area of state administration. They make an important contribution to this, e.g. by continuously monitoring the quality of drinking and bathing water, hygiene in children's playgrounds or hygiene in schools and kindergartens. They also educate the public on environmental health issues and provide information on people, facilities and agencies that provide environmental health services.
Their involvement in environmental epidemiological studies and the implementation of specialist surveys and investigations in cooperation with the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety is important. Measures for health protection and health promotion can be derived from this.
Environmental health assessments by the health authorities of the districts and independent cities are usually carried out on an ad hoc basis or as part of administrative procedures. This includes assessments, for example in the context of urban land-use planning, in the assessment of indoor air quality in public buildings or in the assessment of contaminated sites.
Health promotion includes efforts to create a healthy living environment. In order to put this goal into practice, special environmentally-oriented concepts and methods are required that complement the usual spectrum of health promotion.
