Environmental Health Evaluation Branch

The Environmental Health Evaluation Branch was developed to serve as a resource for residents and businesses in the State of Delaware for information on indoor air quality and exposures to chemicals. This program provides consultation via telephone, site visits, and emergency response as needed to help citizens in the State deal with issues affecting indoor air quality, including mold, chemical exposure and other multimedia chemical concerns.
