What is the purpose of the Public Health Assessment (PHA)?
The public health assessment (PHA) is intended to identify
health hazards, address community health concerns, and recommend actions to
reduce unhealthy exposures at ongoing chemical contamination sites. Click
here for an overview of the PHA process by the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
How do I write a "public comment" to the PHA?
Writing comments for a PHA is quite simple. Give us your
constructive ideas and suggestions on the report. Indicate which section
or page you are referring to in your comments. Your suggestions and ideas are
vital to this communication process.
Where do I provide my comments to the PHA?
Comments on the PHA reports can be sent by mail, faxed or
e-mailed.
