Located in the middle of the page shown below, the MiTracking database gathers Michigan-specific environmental and health data in an easily searchable location. The purpose of the MiTracking database is to provide greater awareness to Michigan residents of environmental health concerns, and to inform residents about public health initiatives and programs. MiTracking is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Tracking Network (more information below).
The data on the site is broken down into three main categories: environmental topics, health conditions and population.
