Press releases

CDPHE's Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division is announcing a landmark agreement to address lead contamination in the Town of Rico under the State’s Voluntary Cleanup and Redevelopment Program.
State public health officials are coordinating with the CDC after it warns of a Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli foodborne outbreak associated with McDonald’s Quarter Pounders sold in multiple states.
CDPHE encourages parents and health care providers to raise awareness about lead exposure, enabling brighter futures for Colorado’s children and communities.
