The Environmental Health Division strives to protect and improve health and quality of life for all Hartford residents and visitors by improving the environmental quality where they live, eat, learn, work, and play. The Division pursues these principles by advancing health-protective environmental practices and policies. As a result, the Division's work ensures: safe and nutritious food; protection from nuisance; prevention of exposure to hazardous chemicals; and quality neighborhoods throughout the City of Hartford. While environmental health is interconnected with many sectors and industries, the Environmental Health Division's core services are lead screening and abatement, food safety, and nuisance regulation.
