This report is the summary of the fourth workshop of The Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine. Environmental Indicators: Bridging the Chasm Between Public Health and the Environment, continues the overarching themes of previous workshops on rebuilding the unity of health and the environment. The purpose of the workshop was to bring people together from many fields, including federal, state, local, and private partners in environmental health, to examine potential leading indicators of environmental health, to discuss the proposed national health tracking effort, to look into monitoring systems of other nations, and to foster a dialogue on the steps for establishing a nationwide environmental health monitoring system. This workshop brought together a number of experts who presented, discussed, and debated the issues surrounding the implementation of a monitoring system.

We use the classical model of structured expert judgment to examine the return on investment (ROI) in a health surveillance network. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched the Environmental Public Health Tracking Program (Tracking Program) in 2002 to collect available data to better understand the link between health and the environment. The Tracking Program's annual budget is $25 million, but little is known about the value of its potential benefits. Past evaluations of the Tracking Program have focused on its ability to meet its own goals rather than on broader impact. This study is the first quantitative assessment of the ROI of the Tracking Program. We make novel use of structured expert judgment to establish a counterfactual allowing us to examine the program's impact. We then link the estimated impact to existing literature on the economic benefits associated with the improved indicators. We estimate that the Tracking Program may have yielded between $5.22 billion to $17.1 billion in societal benefits in 2011, with $6.24 billion estimated by the optimized combination of experts. The estimates have a wide range of uncertainty, but these amounts are significantly greater than the annual $25 million cost of the program.

"In January 2001, the Pew Environmental Health Commission called for the creation of a coordinated public health system to prevent disease in the United States by tracking and combating environmental health threats. In response, the United States Congress appropriated funding to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2002. This funding enabled the development of CDC's National Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) Program, which is led by the National Center for Environmental Health's (NCEH) Environmental Health Tracking Branch (EHTB). The purpose of the EPHT Program (the Program) is to provide information from a nationwide network of integrated health and environmental data that drives actions to improve the health of communities. This National Network (the Network) will integrate three distinct components: hazard monitoring, exposure surveillance, and health effects surveillance. CDC's EHTB is establishing the Network by drawing on a wide range of expertise from federal agencies, state and local health and environmental agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), state public health and environmental laboratories, and the Program's Schools of Public Health.

Satellite imagery and data are widely used in public health surveillance to provide early warning of disease outbreaks and for averting pandemics. Convergence of these technologies began in the 1970s and has gained wide acceptance in the 21st Century. Environmental Tracking for Public Health Surveillance focuses on the expanding use of satellite sensor imagery and long-term spectral measurements for assessing and modelling Earth’s environments in context of public health surveillance. It addresses vector-borne, air-borne, water-borne, and zoonotic diseases, and explores analytical methods for forecasting environmental conditions and their potential for consequent disease outbreaks. Infectious and contagious diseases are of particular interest in this volume because once parasite-vector-human host pathways are triggered by favourable biological circumstances, pandemic diseases can spread to global scale in a matter of hours. The chapters advance readers through three sets of material. Part I reviews the 1970-2012 history of satellite Earth-science surveillance technology that led to linking natural environments to human diseases, and more generally to public health applications. Part II describes specific infectious and contagious diseases and the threat of emerging and re-emerging diseases. Part III explores the kinds of satellite data, modelling, and electronic information systems being developed to expedite health intercessions and responses at local to regional and global scales of reference. Equally important are the extensive reference sections for chapters in Parts II and III. For readers interested in tracking the development of Earth-science technology, these constitute a thorough entrée to both the health and environmental literature. The chapters are written jointly by experts in both the health and Earth-science technologies. Each chapter is accompanied by an extensive list of citations to provide background and validation of the current state-of-the-art for a variety of high-interest human diseases and associated health and well-being issues. The importance of day-to-day weather patterns, the impacts of severe weather events and longer-term climate cycles form the basis for developing information systems that meet goals and expectations of national and international health monitoring bodies. Environmental Tracking for Public Health Surveillance provides a state-of-the-art overview on how environmental tracking data from satellite, airborne, and ground-based sensors are being integrated into appropriate geophysical and spatial information system models to enhance public health surveillance and decision-making from local to global levels, and is intended primarily for a cross-disciplinary professional audience consisting of public health decision-makers, spatial data analysts, modelers, Earth observation specialists, and medical researchers.

"In September 2000, after 18 months of careful study and review, the Pew Environmental Health Commission released a report on the state of environmental public health in the United States. The Commission reported that the environmental public health system in the United States was fragmented, neglected, and ineffective. The first recommendation by the Commission was for the federal government to establish a national EPHT network to link information on environmentally related diseases, human exposures, and environmental hazards. The information from this network would be used to respond to, and eventually reduce, the burden of these diseases on the nation's population. In response to the Pew Commission's report, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initiated the national EPHT program. EPHT is the ongoing collection, integration, analysis, and dissemination of environmental hazard, exposure, and health data. - This issue is composed of a series of articles that describe in detail the processes and obstacles of building the EPHT. The three general areas that are highlighted describe the importance of incorporating the latest advancements in communication and data technology; the critical role of public health science, surveillance methods, and epidemiology in the development and utilization of EPHT; and the value of collaboration and partnerships to bring this project to fruition. The authors represent the broad range of scientific disciplines and experience that have been brought to bear in developing this complicated tracking program." - p. 505-506

The turn of the millennium has been accompanied by a rapid growth in data collection along with an increasing ability to store, manipulate and analyze it. In tandem with this development in technology and surveillance, there has been a growing understanding of the importance of the socio-physical environment on population behavior and human health. We capitalize on this progress to develop a methodology by which we develop two macro scale datasets, one national and one state-wide, to support the efforts of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (EPHTN) in understanding two important health risks: smoking and obesity. Moreover, we use new geographic information science techniques, spatial statistics methodologies and machine learning algorithms to gain a better understanding of the relationship between spatial patterns in physical and socio-demographic characteristics and health risks. Specifically, we address three specific aims: (1) To use current data systems to develop national small-area predictions of adult smoking and obesity for the EPHTN and research; (2) To evaluate current data systems and spatial analysis tools available to describe the within-school environment and the school-neighborhood socio-physical characteristics of California's public schools thought to influence childhood obesity, and use these to develop a comprehensive multilevel dataset for the EPHTN and research; (3) To test the utility of the dataset developed in aim 2 by applying it to an analysis used to increase the understanding of the relationship between the school environment and childhood obesity by examining the relative importance of school attributes. This analysis determines that current data collection systems provide a valuable resource which we combine for the ease of future research use. We demonstrate that using the spatial structure and socio-demographic patterns of health risks, we are able to downscale adult smoking and obesity prevalence to the ZIP code and census tract levels for the conterminous United States, and develop five-year predictions for these for the four quinquennia in the 1991-2010 time period. Lastly, we confirm the utility of the school dataset and determine through the third aim that individual demographics and the social environment seem to be the predominant determinants of childhood obesity.
