Geographic information systems (GIS) and digital computer technology will advance the mission of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) to protect public health. Geographic positioning, topology, and planar and surface measurements are basic GIS properties which enable highly precise locational referencing of spatial phenomena. The growing uses of remotely sensed imagery and satellite facilitated global positioning systems are contributing to unprecedented surveillance of the environment and greater understanding of known and suspected environmental disease associations with human and animal health. Earth science and public health monitoring GIS databases offer new analytic opportunities for disease assessment and prevention.
地理信息系统（GIS）和数字计算机技术将推动疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）及有毒物质与疾病登记署（ATSDR）保护公众健康的使命。地理定位、拓扑结构以及平面和表面测量是GIS的基本属性，这些属性能够对空间现象进行高度精确的位置参照。遥感影像和卫星辅助全球定位系统的日益广泛应用，正有助于对环境进行前所未有的监测，并加深对已知和疑似环境疾病与人类及动物健康关联的理解。地球科学和公共卫生监测GIS数据库为疾病评估和预防提供了新的分析机会。
