Environmental Epidemiology Program

Environmental Epidemiology Program (EEP) protects people who live, work, play, and study in Tennessee from harmful chemicals and pollutants. EEP conducts health risk assessments in all 95 counties to make sure harmful chemicals—including at spills, dumps, and waste sites—are properly cleaned up to protect people. EEP leads public education efforts through public meetings, fact sheets, websites, and presentations. EEP works with local, regional, and metropolitan health departments, and with TDEC and other state agencies.
