Answer:

<h2>Enforcing environmental laws.</h2><h2>Providing national health guidelines.</h2><h2>Overseeing day-to-day health issues in a county.</h2>

Explanation:

A local health department is a governmental agency in charge of public health. This departments have local and sometimes state level jurisdiction, that means that they cannot exercises higher powers like changing laws or ensuring safety of medicines worldwide. Instead this local health departments can provide national guidelines to public health of the community, overseeing health issues in a specific county and enforce environmental laws, ensuring that people follow the law. All these activities are inside of local public health with environmental services.

In addition, local health departments have a specific role, that is:

  • Identify and solve community health problems.
  • Diagnose health problems and hazards in the community.
  • Inform and educate about health issues, as preventive campaigns.
  • Develop policies and plans that support community health, this doesn't mean to reinforce laws, that's out of their jurisdiction.
  • Enforce laws and regulations that protect health and ensure safety.
  • Coordinate and evaluate effectiveness, accessibility, and quality of  health services.
  • Do research for innovation and solutions to health problems.

Therefore, as you can see, correct answers are Enforcing environmental laws; Providing national health guidelines; Overseeing day-to-day health issues in a county; because they are part of the functions of a local health department that also offers environmental services.
