Environmental Radiation Gamma Radiation Readings for West Valley Site: Beginning 1995
health.data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2019-09-26T14:24:47.000ZThis chart shows Gamma Radiation measurements for the West Valley site compared to background measurements collected. Note that the results for the "Fence Line at Waste Area" location are elevated compared to other locations. Elevated radiation levels are expected at this monitoring location due to its proximity to a High Level Radioactive Waste Storage Facility. This is an on-site location. Access to this location is controlled by the site operator. Based on historical data and changes in site activities, monitoring at several locations was discontinued in July 2012 and going forward. Present locations monitored, in addition to the "Fence Line at Waste Area," are "Rock Spring Road" and "Springville-Erie County." Monitoring for this location was done in 1995 only. If a grey broken column appears, this means data was not collected for that instance. You will need to scroll through the table information to find the comment that will give additional information. Please note that this program is not designed, or intended to monitor releases from discharge points at a specific facility (e.g., a stack). The facility operator performs this type of monitoring to meet the requirements of its licensing agency (e.g., a federal agency or the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation).

Healthy Neighborhoods Program, Percentage of Dwellings with Mice Observed or Reported at Initial Visit and Revisits by County: 2009 -2014 Funding Cycle
health.data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2019-09-26T23:58:44.000ZThis chart shows the percentage of homes where mice were observed or reported at the initial visit and revisit, by county for the 2009-2014 funding cycle. The chart gives an indication of the ability of the HNP environmental intervention to decrease the prevalence of mice in the home. The HNP pest control intervention involves providing products (such as traps and cleaning supplies) and educating residents about removing harborage and food for pests by storing garbage appropriately, cleaning, and repairing holes that give mice entry into the home. In some cases, the HNP contacts local code enforcement or the landlord. We can see that the initial visit percentages vary substantially across the across counties, which could reflect differing geography, urban versus rural target areas, and the quality of the housing stock. Except for one county, the homes that were selected for a revisit have a lower percentage with mice homes that had an initial visit, indicating an overall reduction in the percentage of homes with mice after the HNP intervention, although mice were not eradicated from all the homes. Oneida and Cortland Counties show no mice in the revisited homes, which could be an indication of success of the intervention and/or the selection of homes to revisit. For Westchester County, it is possible that the homes that the revisited homes were the worst and, therefore, had a higher percentage. These three counties demonstrate why the comparisons need to be interpreted with caution. Because revisits are a subset of the initial visits, the comparison has limitations. Please read the overview document under the “About” tab for more information on the limitations.

Home Care Registry Training Map
health.data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2024-03-27T15:02:18.000ZThis map shows the locations of personal care or home health aid training programs approved by either the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) or New York State Education Department (NYSED). The map provides training information extracted from Home Care Registry (HCR) application. HCR is a web-based registry of all personal care and home health aides who have successfully completed a personal care or home health aide training program approved by either the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) or the New York State Education Department (NYSED). The training functionality serves in a sense as the central repository of the individuals who have successfully completed State approved education or training programs for Home Health Aides and Personal Care Aides. The Training Programs are the sources for most of the training information available in HCR. This data is refreshed on monthly basis. For more information, visit https://apps.health.ny.gov/professionals/home_care/registry/home.action. The "About" tab contains additional details concerning this dataset.

Healthy Neighborhoods Program, Percentage of Dwellings with Residents Who Smoke, Initial Visits and Revisits by County: 2009 -2014 Funding Cycle
health.data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2019-09-26T23:58:46.000ZThis chart shows the percentage of homes with at least one smoker at the initial visit and revisit, by county for the 2009-2014 funding cycle. The chart gives an indication of the ability of the HNP’s smoking intervention (referrals and education) to decrease the prevalence of smoking in the home. The initial visit percentages range across counties from about 8% to almost 60%. There was a substantial reduction in Albany County, but most counties are essentially unchanged which may indicate the difficulty in changing people’s smoking habits. Three counties show no homes with smokers at the revisit, but these are newly funded counties that have conducted very few revisits to date. Because revisits are a subset of the initial visits, closer examination of the dataset is necessary to confirm the number of initial visits and revisits that were conducted before drawing conclusions. Please read the overview document under the “About” tab for more information on the limitations.

Healthy Neighborhoods Program, Housing Demographics and Conditions, Initial Visits and Revisits: Beginning 2006 - 2009 Funding Cycle
health.data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2019-05-20T19:31:57.000ZThe NYS Healthy Neighborhoods Program (HNP) is a healthy homes program that seeks to reduce the burden of housing-related illness and injury. The dataset includes information about building characteristics, primary respondent demographics and the presence/absence of 34 specific housing conditions for dwellings visited by each county program.

Healthy Neighborhoods Program, Dwelling Age by Funding Cycle, Clinton County: Beginning 2006 - 2009 Funding Cycle
health.data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2019-09-26T23:58:44.000ZEach dwelling visited by the HNP is classified into one of three periods based on the year it was built: before 1950 (“pre-1950”), built 1950-1978, or built after 1978. These periods relate to the general age of the housing. Older housing can present health and safety hazards to their residents. In addition, these groupings coincide with the presence of lead in paint, a health hazard for young children. For dwellings visited by the Clinton County HNP, this chart displays the percent of homes built in each period by funding cycle. For example, the first set of bars shows the percent of dwellings that were built before 1950 during each of the 3 funding cycles. We can see that Clinton County has increased the percent of the oldest homes from about 10% in the first funding cycle to almost 30% during the current funding cycle. Looking at the orange bars, we see that during the current funding cycle, Clinton County’s HNP has visited about the same percentage of homes built in each time period. The counties participating in the Healthy Neighborhoods Program can create this type of chart to view trends in how they are targeting their visits. For example, if a county wants to reach older homes, it may want to refocus its efforts on communities with older housing stock. The "About" tab contains additional details concerning this dataset.

Environmental Radiation Surveillance Ginna Station Fish Readings: Beginning 2009
health.data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2019-09-26T14:39:56.000ZThis is a graph of the cesium-137 concentration in fish near Ginna Station. You can view other years by changing the "Sample date" filter and typing in the year you wish to view. Increases in concentration during March and April 2011 is due to the Fukushima accident. Increases in concentration that do not have a comment are within normal ranges. A column has been added for values which can be graphed. Readings where a less than value is displayed show a value that is less than the detection limit of the measurement method and are essentially equivalent to 0. Variations in detection limit are due to variations in sample collection and measurement instrument performance. For more information please visit http://www.nyhealth.gov/radiation.
