Wisconsin
National Toxic Substance Incidents Program (NTSIP)
WI NTSIP (formerly WI HSEES),
maintained by the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will
continue as a state-based surveillance system with the goal of tracking
and preventing the adverse public health consequences associated with the
uncontrolled or illegal release of hazardous substances.
The 7 participating state health departments actively collect data on
releases from many different sources and enter it into a secure
web-deployed data entry system. Information contained in the System
includes, but is not limited to, event date, event city, event county,
names and quantities of released substances, number of victims, types of
injuries, and numbers of evacuations and evacuees.
Looking forward, WI NTSIP, will enhance its prevention/outreach
activities to include Inherently Safer Technologies (IST) and Green
Chemistry precepts while mapping data to better serve vulnerable areas and
populations.
