Innovative Practices

Are you looking for innovative environmental health practices? We've created a directory of practices that health agencies have identified as being innovative, that is, they have or could improve practice, and other agencies could adopt them or get involved. Items are posted in the language they are submitted in.

If your agency has a practice you'd like to share, please contact us.  See also our
Health Agency Projects directory.

Please let us know if you find this directory useful.
