The Environmental Health Consultation Services (EHCS) program conducts Public Health Assessments and Consultations for United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) superfund sites in Arizona.  Consultations for other environmental exposures upon request.

The EHCS program is funded by a grant from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), which is part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention in Atlanta, GA.   Most of the health reports completed by the program discuss health effects at USEPA superfund sites.  However, the program has completed health assessments for brownfields sites and other events such as fires at industrial facilities.
