1 Our Vision – Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments. National Tribal Air Association Conference on Air Quality Environmental Health Indicators A State Health Perspective Lesa Roberts (Ks) June 4, 2008 lesaroberts@kdhe.state.ks.us

2 Our Vision – Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments. Overview SEHIC - Council of State & Territorial Epidemiologists Selection of AQ indicators & measures Examples of AQ indicators Results Lessons learned

3 Our Vision – Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments. Why Indicators? Need to measure human health impact on and from the environment Indicators – tools to identify and communicate population health status as it relates to environmental factors

4 Our Vision – Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments. SEHIC work groups Topic areas important for environmental health practice agreement & interest among state partners public concerns state & national environmental public health priorities

5 Our Vision – Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments. Indicator Workgroups Drinking water Air Quality Asthma Climate change

6 Our Vision – Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments. Selecting indicators - measures Focus on documented human health “hazard” – Particulate matter (PM), ozone (O 3 ) Measure – derived from values with temporal & geographic association (time/place) Exposure surrogate

7 Our Vision – Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments. Air Work Group Indicator categories: Ambient concentrations of criteria pollutants Exceedances of AQI indices/standards Hazardous Air Pollutants Climate Change
