Tracking Awareness Week: Unique Data

This week is National Environmental Public Health Tracking Awareness Week!

The topic for today’s #PoweredByTracking Tracking Awareness Week discussion is unique data. With unique data, beautiful data visualization, and interactive tools, CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network delivers information and data that are used to track environmental health factors over time and improve the health of communities.

Collecting and sharing public health data is more important than ever before. The Tracking Network works to have local, accurate, and timely data on a variety of health and environmental factors such as cancer, extreme heat, and air quality
