Fresh news on environment in Rhode Island

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Air Quality Alert: Rhode Island is under an ozone warning for Tuesday, with statewide “unhealthy for sensitive groups” conditions expected to peak early afternoon into the evening—especially risky for kids, older adults, and people with asthma or heart/lung issues. Heat Pressure: A warm-up is already underway across the East, with heat advisories popping up in parts of the region, pushing people to limit heavy outdoor exertion. Ticks & Lyme: Tick bites are sending more people to ERs, and the CDC says tick activity is rising in the Northeast and Midwest—so expect more Lyme-risk headlines as summer ramps. Local Infrastructure: RIDOT will close the Singleton Street Bridge in Woonsocket starting June 5 for rehabilitation, with detours for cars and trucks. Cleanup Wins: Rhode Island is set to receive at least $25 million from a Monsanto/PCB settlement to fund environmental cleanup and restoration. Wildlife Watch: A porbeagle shark was spotted in shallow waters near Point Judith Pond before dying after beaching.
