M7.7 Blog about the agency's role
For this blog I chose Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). I found this interesting, because it deals directly with every single one of us and can impact all of us at one point or another. One of the main roles of this agency is to respond to environmental health emergencies. This is an important role, since they would be the source to report this emergency to the public. After reporting the emergency, they would conduct research on this environmental health issue.

I hadn’t heard of this agency before, but you’ve piqued my interest. Are they within the Department of Health & Human Services? Their work is obviously incredibly important in responding to environmental emergencies, but as you mentioned planning and prevention is crucial as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time hearing about this agency as well. I didn't realize there was a separate organization that focused on this area of work. That is great to know that this agency is one of the first responders for emergencies involving the environment!
