We monitor and investigate potential environmental health hazards and ensure that the relevant Public Health Act and Regulations are enforced, including the sale of tobacco to children. We provide advice and information on how to deal with these hazards including lead poisoning, pesticides, contaminated sites, Legionnaires’ disease, air and water quality.
NSW Health’s environmental health site has information about air quality, drinking water, Aboriginal environmental health issues, chemicals, asbestos, swimming pools, and more.
