In this study, we aimed to investigate the ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH status of mosques in Sari, Iran, with respect to personal health, tools and equipment, as well as construction status.Materials and Methods: The information of each mosque was recorded in a questionnaire comprised of 45 variables, and each response was allocated a percentage. Overall, 50 mosques were randomly selected in 2016.
