Q: Where does NEPA require incorporating human health elements?
A: See this article for a discussion of integrating assessment of human health in
environmental review, with reference to NEPA.

I'm looking for any examples of state DOTs who are incorporating human health themes
into their NEPA process as per NEPA requirements. I have been reviewing several
environmental documents here in NC and have found little if any direct assessment of human
health within the EIS documents. There are some related evaluation components related to
water quality, noise and air quality, but nothing on other dimensions of human health.
