  3. Environmental Health • Criteria† pollutant-related illness alone costs about $250 billion annually. • Excess deaths related to air pollution estimated at 50,000 – 100,000 per year • Excess lifetime cancer risk related to air pollution is estimated at 1,400 per million persons • Poor indoor air quality costs tens of billions of dollars per year due to • lost productivity • direct medical costs, • and damage to equipment and materials. † Criteria pollutants include: ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.

  22. Status of Environmental Health Objectives Target met or exceeded Improving Little or no change Getting worse No tracking data Dropped at midcourse Retained as developmental 14 17 6 8 30 6 12

  23. Data Challenges, Barriers, and Strategies • Challenges • Environmental measurements are only proxies for human exposure, which through mobility varies from day to day, and place to place. • Barriers • Lack of systematic data collection • Strategies New or enhanced data systems • National Biomonitoring Program • National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program New tools for assessment of exposure and health • Genes and Environment Initiative / Exposure Biology Program • National Children’s Study
