Description:

This section discusses CDC’s early work in studying environmental health. A satirical image from the 1960s about “Lady Liberty” shows the Statue of Liberty wearing a gas mask. The channel behind her and the visible land are filled with trash. The air is dark from pollution. Small factories in the background are belting out more smog. The image shows how pollution had become so commonplace and how environmental issues can harm everyone. CDC’s first projects that addressed environmental health were investigations of leukemia clusters and birth defects. Soon after, CDC began connecting the dots between environmental concerns and public health concerns such as lead-based paint poisoning, dental disease, and the presence of rodents in urban communities.
