Environmental Health Legislation and Statutes Databases
Updated July 2008
NCSL tracks state legislation and statutes that address environmental health concerns, from each of the 50 states, most territories and the District of Columbia. The two databases track environmental health legislation and statutes.
The Environmental Health Legislation database tracks legislation covering topics including indoor air quality, pesticides, mercury, lead, asthma, children's environmental health, asbestos, toxics, surveillance and mosquito control. The Environmental Health Statutes database lists the citations for each state law that addresses the same environmental health topics, plus solid wastes, hazardous wastes, air quality and water.
