<br /> <br />To measure the physical environment’s impact on health, we examined environmental quality data in the <br />areas of air, water, and food safety. National data is not available for these measures. <br />Kittitas County had more unhealthy air days than Washington State overall. More of our streams have a <br />pollution control plan in place, and significantly fewer of our food establishments have significant <br />violations. <br />Physical Environment <br />Category Health Indicator Kittitas <br />County <br />Washington <br />State <br />United <br />States Target <br />0.4% <br />16.0% <br />Percent of routine food establishment <br />inspections with significant violations26,27 1.2%5.0%n/a 1.1% <br />17.8%52.7%n/a <br />Percent of days with unhealthy air quality23,24 1.9%0.4%n/aAir <br />Food Safety <br />Environmental <br />Quality <br />Water <br />Percent of stream sections with high levels of <br />fecal coliforms and without a pollution <br />control plan in place25 <br />Washington State Department of Ecology: Air Quality.
