This 2-part series is designed to assist faculty in teaching students about the impact of the environment on health. Part 1 (Gerber & McGuire, 199l; this issue) provides historical background, the role of nursing, a basic curriculum, and student learning activities. Part 2 presents national environmental health objectives, pertinent legislation, organization of environmental health services, global environmental health, and student learning activities. We designed the material to be practical, so that this critical area becomes a routine part of assessment data for nurses as they care for clients.
