Background• NEHAP:
• aim:– develop a system to collect, analyse and present spatial
and temporal trends on environment and health
3Environment and health information system in NL | Diane Houweling
In the Netherlands:• A lot of information available, scattered over various
databases
• combining• harmonising
• development of an Environment and Health Information System

Evaluation by policy makers:• EH infosystem useful
• expansion and further harmonisation needed (national, regional, local)
• policy evaluation sometimes based on other indicators (for instance number of environmental health
professionals)• website for public: also information on how to deal with
complaints about environmental health• expansion of the dataset to enable international
comparisons
24Environment and health information system in NL | Diane Houweling
Conclusions about EH information system:• Information in NL not always according to definitions WHO
methodology sheet• time consuming
(harmonisation indicators and instruments; regional, national, international)
• HIA: possibility to calculate health effects based on exposures
• Most efforts you do for the WHO EHIS project have relevance for the national EH information system
• Future: website and data exchange platform
