Glossary of Terms

Public Health AssessmentA Public Health Assessment is an evaluation and statement of the public health issues related to a contaminated site. Every New Jersey site on the National Priorities List has had a Public Health Assessment completed. Environmental data, health outcome data, and community health concerns are all considered in the process of developing a Public Health Assessment in order to: (1) identify human exposures and hazardous conditions associated with a site, (2) identify past, current or future impact on public health, (3) develop health advisories or other health recommendations (4) identify populations living or working near the sites for further studies or actions .
Public Health ConsultationA Public Health Consultation is similar to a Public Health Assessment, but is designed to answer a focused question about the site and its health impact. Many sites have had at least one Public Health Consultation.
Citizen’s GuideCitizen’s Guides are summaries of the technical Public Health Assessment and Public Health Consultation documents.
Public Health AdvisoryA Public Health Advisory is issued in rare instances where contamination poses an immediate and significant danger to public health.
Exposure InvestigationAn Exposure Investigation is conducted as part of a Public Health Assessment, Consultation or Advisory, if it is necessary to perform limited human exposure measurements. This may include biological sampling (e.g., blood, urine, or hair) of nearby residents, or additional environmental sampling of potential areas of exposure. Large scale biological sampling may be continued by the Health Studies Project. Large scale environmental sampling is performed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
