| 112 | 112 | 249.0 | Index | 6.2.1 | 6.0 | EOH | Environmental & Occupational Health | 18.0 | EM | Environmental Monitoring | The systematic collection and continuous or frequent standardized measurement and observation of: environmental specimens (air, water, land/soil, and plants) analyzing the presence of an indicator, exposure, or response (warning and control), including monitoring the environment for vectors of disease to give information about the environment to assess past and current status and predict future trends | M202 | State public health laboratory provides or assures testing for air samples | The measure focuses on the capability of a state public health laboratory to perform testing from air samples. | APHL CLSS | Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), Comprehensive Laboratory Services Survey (CLSS) | 2012, 2014, & 2016 | The state public health laboratory testing “provide or assure” standard is based on national consensus expert opinion and is recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and is reflected in the Healthy People 2020 goals concerning access to comprehensive public health and environmental health laboratory testing. This standard requires the state public health authority, through its laboratory, engage in the testing and reporting process – either by directly performing the tests or by assuring that alternative labs perform the tests adequately. This standard is designed to ensure that laboratory testing, interpretation, and reporting is guided by specialized public health knowledge and expertise found within the state public health agency, and that timely, effective public health responses and protective actions occur based on test results. States that provide testing through another type of laboratory, with no assurance role performed by the public health laboratory, do not meet this standard. (see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2846798/). Selected responses from the 2016 survey have been corrected for North Carolina and therefore no longer correspond to the originally published survey results. |
| 113 | 113 | 250.0 | Index | 6.2.2 | 6.0 | EOH | Environmental & Occupational Health | 18.0 | EM | Environmental Monitoring | The systematic collection and continuous or frequent standardized measurement and observation of: environmental specimens (air, water, land/soil, and plants) analyzing the presence of an indicator, exposure, or response (warning and control), including monitoring the environment for vectors of disease to give information about the environment to assess past and current status and predict future trends | M257_AIHA | State public health laboratory is certified or accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) | State public health laboratories that provide environmental health testing are required to meet certain industry standards to ensure safe and accurate testing of specimens and/or samples.

| 116 | 116 | 254.0 | Foundational | 6.2.6 | 6.0 | EOH | Environmental & Occupational Health | 18.0 | EM | Environmental Monitoring | The systematic collection and continuous or frequent standardized measurement and observation of: environmental specimens (air, water, land/soil, and plants) analyzing the presence of an indicator, exposure, or response (warning and control), including monitoring the environment for vectors of disease to give information about the environment to assess past and current status and predict future trends | M196 | State public health laboratory provides or assures testing for environmental samples in the event of suspected chemical terrorism | A state needs to be capable of determining, by appropriate scientific methods, agents involved in a suspected act of chemical terrorism. It is also necessary to be able to determine the prevalence of such agents in air, food, and water resources by testing environmental samples. This is both a measurement indicative of the incident and a measure of mitigation and recovery effectiveness. | APHL CLSS | Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), Comprehensive Laboratory Services Survey (CLSS) | 2012 & 2014 | The state public health laboratory testing “provide or assure” standard is based on national consensus expert opinion and is recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and is reflected in the Healthy People 2020 goals concerning access to comprehensive public health and environmental health laboratory testing.

These substances are often toxic and hazardous to human health. It is important that the state laboratory has the capability to test for hazardous substances (or can assure that this capability exists). This capability is significant in characterizing the area contaminated by the release and is also essential to the clean-up and site remediation/restoration. | APHL CLSS | Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), Comprehensive Laboratory Services Survey (CLSS) | 2012, 2014, & 2016 | The state public health laboratory testing “provide or assure” standard is based on national consensus expert opinion and is recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and is reflected in the Healthy People 2020 goals concerning access to comprehensive public health and environmental health laboratory testing.

| 119 | 119 | 257.0 | Foundational | 6.2.9 | 6.0 | EOH | Environmental & Occupational Health | 18.0 | EM | Environmental Monitoring | The systematic collection and continuous or frequent standardized measurement and observation of: environmental specimens (air, water, land/soil, and plants) analyzing the presence of an indicator, exposure, or response (warning and control), including monitoring the environment for vectors of disease to give information about the environment to assess past and current status and predict future trends | M274 | State participates in the National Plant Diagnostic Network (NPDN) | The National Plant Diagnostic Network (NPDN) was established in 2002 in response to the need to enhance agricultural security through protecting health and productivity of plants in agricultural and natural ecosystems in the U.S. The NPDN is a national consortium of plant diagnostic laboratories with the specific purpose of quickly detecting and identifying plant pests and pathogens of concern. | NPDN | National Plant Diagnostic Network (NPDN), National Plant Diagnostic website | 2014 | The measure does not evaluate the level or effectiveness of the state participation, including the resources committed and state success in quickly detecting and identifying pathogens. |
| 120 | 120 | 257.1 | Index | 6.2.10 | 6.0 | EOH | Environmental & Occupational Health | 18.0 | EM | Environmental Monitoring | The systematic collection and continuous or frequent standardized measurement and observation of: environmental specimens (air, water, land/soil, and plants) analyzing the presence of an indicator, exposure, or response (warning and control), including monitoring the environment for vectors of disease to give information about the environment to assess past and current status and predict future trends | M904 | Number of environmental scientists and specialists (including health) per 100,000 population in the state | States with a larger supply of environmental health specialists may have a superior ability to prevent, detect and contain health hazards related to air, water, food, housing, soil, climate, and other environmental conditions. | BLS OES | Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Occupational Employment Statistics (OES), OES 19-2041 | 2012—2017 | The measure does not evaluate the level of training of the environmental and health scientists. The measure does not consider mutual aid plans that may be in place for agencies to supplement the number of available environmental and health scientists in the event of an emergency. Also, BLS and other national data sources on health provider supply have been shown to undercount certain types of health professionals, and may differ considerably from the estimates available from state medical licensing boards. Since the measurement undercounting in the BLS data are expected to be relatively consistent across states, they should not cause significant bias in the Index state and national results. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) produces occupational estimates by surveying a sample of non-farm establishments. As such, estimates produced through the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program are subject to sampling error. |
| 121 | 121 | 257.2 | Index | 6.2.11 | 6.0 | EOH | Environmental & Occupational Health | 18.0 | EM | Environmental Monitoring | The systematic collection and continuous or frequent standardized measurement and observation of: environmental specimens (air, water, land/soil, and plants) analyzing the presence of an indicator, exposure, or response (warning and control), including monitoring the environment for vectors of disease to give information about the environment to assess past and current status and predict future trends | M23A | Number of disease outbreaks in a state due to animal contact per 1 million population (reverse coded) | The measure focuses on a state's ability to confirm the etiologic agent causing a foodborne disease outbreak. States actively investigating and resolving food and water outbreaks are able to identify and intervene more quickly to prevent a further spread of outbreaks in the community. | CDC NORS | Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS) | 2012—2017 | The measure does not evaluate the quality or comprehensiveness of the state's reporting of illness outbreaks. |
