  2. Urges the “inclusion of vulnerable and overexposed populations in the monitoring, testing, and regulation of chemicals in the environment, such as children, the elderly, low-income communities, communities of color, tribal communities, and those sensitive to or previously harmed by chemical exposures.”

  3. Action Agenda: Include vulnerable and overexposed populations Can PHLs work with ATSDR to answer community health questions? Can PHLs conduct environmental health surveillance as part of a routine process? Can PHLs be part of a team that works to help concerned community members assess and understand exposures?

  4. Other Action Agenda Questions Can PHLs act as subject matter experts, offering advice on the toxicity of chemicals & what testing to do? Can PHLs contribute data to risk assessments? Can PHLs play a larger role in occupational health surveillance? Can PHLs help assess whether interventions have led to decreased chemical concentrations, either in the environment or in humans?
