Air Quality

Beginning July 1, 2012 the Air Quality Program will actively respond to air quality complaints and issue open burn permits in El Paso County to protect public health and the natural environment. This will be facilitated through a contract with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment which provides authority and funding to enforce state air quality regulations.

We encourage people to check the radon levels in their homes.  Call (719) 578-3199 to receive a voucher for a free radon test kit. Vouchers for free radon test kits are available on a first come, first served basis until supplies last. The American Lung Association recommends that all homes be tested for radon. Learn more about radon by watching this video presentation, “Radon: The Invisible Killer.”
