Environmental Health is a part of public Health that looks at how our surroundings — like the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the places we live — can affect our health. We work to keep people safe by protecting the environment. This includes making sure our air, water, food, and soil are clean and safe. We also team up with local communities, the government, and other groups to teach people and help stop or fix problems that could harm our health.
TriCounty Health Department's Environmental Health division follows and enforces state rules in addition to local rules approved by TriCHD's Board of Health. Visit https://rules.utah.gov/ for more information on specific Utah codes and rules.
