The “endangerment finding” was established in 2009 and states that six greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles and factories are harmful to the environment and public health. On February 12th, 2026 the EPA repealed the finding stating it would save the U.S. $1.3 trillion and allow for looser regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. The American Public Health Association, American Lung Association, Environmental Defense Fund, Sierra Club and other groups are suing the EPA to try to stop this repeal, citing evidence that it will worsen public health in the U.S. and be harmful to the environment.

On February 24th, 2026, Saputo Cheese USA Inc. recalled certain cottage cheese after discovering it was made with liquid dairy that was not fully pasteurized. Pasteurization briefly heats dairy products to a high temperature to kill viruses and bacteria. Unpasteurized dairy could make people sick, especially older adults or anyone with a weakened immune system. The recalled “Great Value” cottage cheese was sold at Missouri Walmart stores. These include Great Value fat free (0%), low fat (1%), and 4% milkfat small curd cottage cheese with expiration dates in April. For a full list of recalled products, visit FDA.gov.

As of March 3rd, there have been 10 reported cases of chicken pox at Principia School, a private K-12 boarding school in Town and Country. The first case was found in February. After the second case was found, all students who were not vaccinated or did not have proof of immunity were asked to stay home for at least three weeks. Teachers are working on remote work plans for these students. Principia School is actively working with St Louis County Department of Public Health to avoid further spread.

Nationally, flu rates are falling but Missouri remains one of six states with “very high” flu activity. Among seasonal flu cases in Missouri, 52% are influenza A and 47% are influenza B as of February 14th, 2026. The symptoms of flu A and flu B are very similar, and tests are needed to tell which type it is. Flu B evolves more slowly than flu A and tends to peak later in the season. The flu vaccine is designed to provide some protection against both flu A and B. Other preventative steps include frequent handwashing and disinfecting shared surfaces.

The number of adults under 50 diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) has almost doubled every decade for 20 years. Researchers are trying to understand why. Gut bacteria could be to blame. A 2025 study found that a toxin produced by E. Coli bacteria in the gut is connected to earlier CRC cases. The toxin causes DNA mutations (damage), usually in childhood (before age 10), that can increase the risk of colorectal cancer in adulthood. Another theory, links gut bacteria that produce hydrogen-sulfide gas, which creates a “rotten-egg” smell, to CRC. These changes to gut bacteria (the gut microbiome) are not fully understood and likely have many causes including diets high in fat, sugar, or meat, and exposure to certain strains of E. Coli bacteria.

Six homes in Florissant, MO on Cades Cove Dr are in the process of being torn down by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to reach contaminated soil underneath them. The soil is contaminated with radioactive material that was used to build nuclear bombs for World War II. The homeowners were compensated for being relocated, although the amount they received is not publicly available. After the homes are torn down, soil will be excavated from each site over the course of one year. The homes are near Coldwater Creek, which is known to be contaminated with radioactive material. This is the first time nationally people have been forced to relocate for remediation.
