Abstract

A holistic and collaborative approach needs to be taken in the development of environmental public health surveillance systems. Exposure and hazard surveillance integrated with outcome-based surveillance will blend fragmented strands of data into streams of information. Adequate resources and strong leadership are essential to the creation of such surveillance systems.
