Description Environmental statistics relating to households are an important instrument for making decisions, planning, and drawing up strategies for the environment. Due to the lack of data on this subject in Palestine, PCBS is building and developing a database on the environment in the household sector.

This survey is based on a household sample survey conducted during the period from 18 August 2013 to 3 October 2013. It provides basic statistics on various aspects of the environment, including water, solid waste, wastewater, noise, and air pollution. A special questionnaire was designed in accordance with United Nations standards and recommendations in the field of environmental statistics and adapted to Palestinian conditions.

This survey presents data on various environmental household indicators in Palestine and on water consumption for the household sector by water source, methods of solid waste disposal and their main components, the disposal of wastewater, and the existence of cesspits and water wells, in addition to exposure to noise and air pollution by source and time.

The questionnaire covered the following items:
· Source of water supply in houses.
· Household solid waste disposal, its components, and its approximate quantity.
· Wastewater disposal and the existence and use of cesspits in houses.
· Air pollution in the area of the house by smell, dust and smoke.
· Exposure to noise.
