AIR: Oregon EPHT Air Quality Data

The Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) Program is the first national effort to create a network to provide the United States with standardized data integrated from multiple hazard, exposure, and health effects information systems. Limited Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Air Quality Monitoring Data from the Laboratory Analytical Storage and Retrieval Database (LASAR) are available on the Oregon EPHT website at http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/epht.

The Oregon EPHT Air Quality Monitoring dataset contains information about PM2.5 and PM10 levels. The data are from filter and light backscatter monitors. Analyte mean and maximum measurements, and count and percentages of violations of Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) are available from 1997, for the state and by county.Data from the EPHT network may be used to attempt to quantify the magnitude of environmental health problems, detect unusual trends and occurrences, document the distribution and spread of a hazard or health event, identify populations at risk, plan and evaluate protective and preventive measures, facilitate research, and detect the results of changes in health practices.

BIRTH: Oregon Birth Certificate Database

The Center for Health Statistics (CHS) collects birth certificate data in Oregon. Oregon law requires that all vital events such as births, marriages, divorces, and deaths be recorded and registered. These are the legal records documenting a vital event and, in the case of birth certificates, are the primary documents used to establish identity. CHS is also responsible for compiling and analyzing the data from vital records. These data are used throughout the state and nation for program planning and policy development and are the primary data sources used for measuring many Oregon Benchmarks, Department of Human Services Outcomes and Performance Measures, and Healthy People 2010 Objectives. Data are maintained on all births occurring in the state of Oregon and are maintained in a client server for statistical analysis beginning in 1989. Information is collected on sex, birth weight, county, date, medical complications, and other information.
