Many Colorado Schools, Have Yet to Address Lead , Contaminated Drinking Water .
'Newsweek' reports that water contaminated
with lead has been detected across ten of
the largest school districts in Colorado. .
According to an analysis by the Colorado Public
Interest Research Group (CoPIRG), over 2,000
water fixtures tested positive for high levels of lead. .
After a year of first detecting
the contamination, over half
have yet to be addressed.
Kids may be out of school for the
summer, but schools have a lot
of homework to do to ensure
sources of lead-contaminated
drinking water are addressed
before kids return in the fall, Kristin Schatz, Clean air advocate at CoPIGR, via 'Newsweek'.
Exposure to lead can be particularly
harmful to kids, with a significant
impact on learning, growth and behavior.
According to the American Academy
of Pediatrics, there is no level of lead
exposure for children that is considered "safe.".

'Newsweek' reports that a 2022 state law required
all elementary schools and child care centers serving
grades preschool through fifth grade to test for lead.
The results of those tests were made public in 2023,
and schools were required to remediate any water
sources with 5 parts per billion (ppb) or more of lead.

Of the 2,201 contaminated drinking water sources with lead levels of 5 ppb or more, only 36% of those sources have been addressed, according to CoPIGR's report.
Knowledge is power. Parents armed
with the state's lead testing results
should have an easier time getting
school administrators to 'get the
lead out' and if they are not
responsive, it should be easier
to hold them accountable, Kristin Schatz, Clean air advocate at CoPIGR, via 'Newsweek'

Tips for Building an Outdoor , Workout Routine.
Associated Press recently spoke with
experts about the benefits of exercising
outside compared to in the gym.
Spending time in nature has long been known to
improve both physical and mental well-being,
similarly to the known effects of regular exercise.
According to Debbie Rhea, a professor in kinesiology at
Texas Christian University, the combination of the two
doubles down on what helps keep adults healthy. .
We’ve got to get outside.
We’ve got to be active.
If we’re going to live long
lives, this is what it’s about, Debbie Rhea, professor in kinesiology at Texas
Christian University, Colorado, via Associated Press.
Connie Sciolino, founder of the Alpine Training Center in
Boulder, Colorado, suggests that those looking to start an
outdoor workout routine look back to activities they used to enjoy.
People who enjoy hiking or biking
could use that to build an aerobic base
by taking longer and longer walks or rides.
Once that becomes easy, Sciolino suggests
increasing the intensity of those
workouts to build strength.
If jogging is their main activity,
I would send them to bleachers
or do some up-down on stairs,
either in sprint format or
put a pack on their back, Connie Sciolino, founder of the Alpine Training
Center in Boulder, Colorado, via Associated Press.
According to the National Recreation and Park Association,
one-third of park agencies have outdoor exercise
equipment, ranging from pull-bars to rowing machines.
