Environmental Health

The Environmental Health Services Department works to ensure that the air we breathe, the water we drink and use, and the food we consume are free from contamination and harm.

Environmental Health Services coordinates and oversees the programs and regulations that prevent illness, injury, and death from human interaction with the environment. We investigate and respond to health emergencies (including those that may be of a chemical or biological nature) that pose a risk to the citizens of Fulton County. Our staff works to especially safeguard the health of those that may be vulnerable to environmental hazards-children, the elderly and those with disabilities.
