Instructions: Request Environmental Public Health Data

Minnesota’s Environmental Public Health Tracking program (MN Tracking) collects and integrates environmental monitoring and public health data for our partners, providing a critical link for understanding environmental hazards and their impact on the health of Minnesota communities.

Data for topics from air quality to traffic can be accessed through the Minnesota Public Health Data Access Portal.

Requesting data

Custom data requests will be answered and filled in the order in which they are received, with priority given to requestors from the Minnesota Department of Health, the Minnesota Legislature, other state agencies, community health service agencies and public media. These requestors will not be charged for completion of their data request.

Other requestors may incur a charge for data reports if the request requires more than one hour of staff time to complete, and/or the total out-of-pocket expenses needed to complete the request are more than $50.

To request COVID-19 information, please complete this form (doc) and email your request to: MN_MDH_R.DataRequests@state.mn.us.
