The Division has prepared a table listing indoor air remediation goals and action levels for a number of volatile organic compounds to be used at sites where vapor intrusion may be a concern. This was prompted in response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) having released a new assessment of the health effects of trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE), two commonly used degreasing solvents., Online resource; title from PDF caption (viewed April 2023)

Excessive alcohol use contributes to an estimated 1,633 deaths annually in Colorado, which is an average of almost five deaths each day. A portion of these alcohol-attributable deaths include deaths by suicide. Research has shown that excessive alcohol use is associated with increased suicide risk. Suicide continues to be a critical public health concern both nationally and in Colorado., Kacy Crawford, Ethan Jamison, Andy Woster., "September 2018.", Includes bibliographical references (page 8)., Online resource; title from PDF caption; (viewed April 2019)
Excessive alcohol use, including binge drinking, contributes to an estimated 1,635 deaths annually in Colorado, which is an average of almost five deaths each day. Excessive drinking is associated with harms to individuals (e.g., violence, injuries, cancers, and high blood pressure) and also has large costs to society. Excessive alcohol use cost Colorado $5 billion in 2010, almost half of which was paid by government. Binge drinking contributes the most to these adverse outcomes, accounting for half of the alcohol-related deaths and three quarters of the economic costs. Binge drinking is defined as having four or more drinks for a woman or five or more drinks for a man, on a single occasion. Excessive drinking is an important public health concern for Colorado as one in five adults (19%) and one in six high school youth (16%) report binge drinking., Dahsan S.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has requested an evaluation of alternatives for the permanent closure of the Reynolds Adit at the Summitville Mine Superfund Site (SMSS). The Reynolds Adit was driven in the late 1890s through early 1900s. The adit was to dewater the upper workings (thereby facilitating mining) in South Mountain and used to serve as an ore-haulage route for ore produced from these upper workings. During the most recent mining operations at South Mountain (1984 through 1992), Summitville Consolidated Mining Company Incorporated (SCMCI) developed the South Mountain mineral reserves as an open pit, heap leach gold mine. As a result of SCMCI's mining activities, the rate of water discharging from the adit increased and the concentrations of metals in the adit discharge also increased. EPA assumed responsibility for the SMSS in December 1992. EPA plugged the adit with a bulkhead in 1994 as part of their emergency response actions., prepared for Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ; prepared by Tetra Tech., "January 2009.", Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed March 2018), Tetra Tech Job.

Due to the disparities experienced by American Indians, the Office of Health Disparities (OHD) of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) initiated a process to convene Colorado's American Indian community to discuss the health assets and disparities within the American Indian population. The purpose of the community conversation was to engage American Indians in a discussion on health disparities and determine what aspects of health disparities are important for the American Indian communities. Additionally, the intent was to create an on-going infrastructure from the community conversation where American Indian community members would continue to address health disparities., compiled by Sage River., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed November 2020)
