Pulse on Pueblo's Health - December 2023

 

How can I test my well for PFAS chemicals? If your well is eligible for no-cost testing, you can schedule an appointment by visting pueblohealth.org or by calling (719)583-4307 - Option 8

This year, we secured a sampling grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). This grant is dedicated to funding sampling efforts aimed at testing groundwater and surface water within Pueblo County.

The focus is on private well owners and surface water sources that may contain PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) chemicals.

Wash your hands

Hand washing is one of the easiest and most important steps an individual can take to avoid getting sick and stop the spread of diseases and infections.

Not only does washing hands often decrease the spread of diseases from person-to-person, but holiday cooking can be made much safer by regularly washing one's hands, cooking surfaces, and other items used to cook.

Public Health Data and Resources

Importance of Handwashing

According to the CDC, if everyone washes their hands routinely, an estimated 1 million deaths per year could be prevented. Many foodborne illnesses are spread because food handlers do not wash their hands before preparing food

If individuals washed their hands routinely with soap and water, they could reduce up to 50% of deaths due to diarrheal diseases. Hand sanitizer should be used after hands have been washed with soap and water, not replace it, unless soap and water are not available.

About 1.8 million children under the age of 5 die each year from diarrheal diseases and pneumonia, the top two killers of young children around the world.
