Colorado Radon Program’s Statewide Impacts
Contributed by Margaret Horton, MPH
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Radon Program initiatives during the first quarter of 2026 have accomplished statewide impacts. Two of the initiatives are described below:
• The CDPHE Radon Program sponsored the Kansas State University continuing education course, "Optimal Mitigation and Advanced Diagnostics," in Denver in March 2026. A wonderful group of radon mitigation professionals from across Colorado and even from out of state participated. Over the two-day course, the trainees received hands-on training in pressure field extension testing, fan sizing, system design, and more.
• CDPHE launched a new campaign during NRAM 2026. The Program worked with the public library system to distribute educational radon bookmarks to libraries across the state during national radon action month. This project required little effort but achieved extensive, statewide reach.
