Increasing public awareness of ways to prevent death, chronic disease, and disability will enhance the health of Canadians. The Canadian Environmental Health Atlas is an online, interactive website (ehatlas.ca) to engage and inform Canadians and show how the environment impacts health. By making this science accessible through interactive tools, videos, maps, and graphics, the Atlas has the potential to expand the focus on preventing chronic disease, enhancing the health of Canadians and reducing health care costs.
