community and public health nursing

Environmental health is a concern at all levels: global, national, state, and communities. Environmental laws have been developed to address conditions that might pose a hazard to the safety of the environment and individuals.

Discuss possible environmental hazard concerns in your community (Alamance County North Carolina) and the impact that environmental laws have on these issues. Possible concerns in communities might be industry, farming, construction, hazardous material storage (Superfund), etc.). State your opinion of the role community health nursing can play in improvement in these areas.
