Environment and Health Information System (ENHIS)

Priority issues in environment and health

ENHIS focuses on the environment and health issues that are recognized priorities for the WHO European Region: water and sanitation, mobility and transport, air quality, food safety, housing, occupational hazards, chemical safety, ultraviolet and ionizing radiation.

Based on available data, 22 core indicators describe these priorities by measuring pressure, exposure, health effects and action. This is the evidence-base for the ENHIS assessments or fact sheets, which follow a common template including information on the environment and health context, the policy relevance and context, as well as suggestions for further monitoring.
