Archived ENHIS fact sheets 2007

These 26 assessments, based on indicators for core environment and health issues, were prepared in 2007 by WHO/Europe and the partner institutions of the European Environment and Health Information System (ENHIS). They help describe the situation with children’s environmental health.

The fact sheets form the core of the information base on environmental health, which has been the main source for assessing children’s health and the environment since 2000. Progress and policy effectiveness can now be measured against this baseline.
