The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) was awarded a $214,709 Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Surveys, Studies, Research, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Special Purpose Activities Relating to the Clean Air Act (CFDA 66.034) program. The purpose of this grant is to obtain air monitoring data in areas of Rhode Island that currently lack such data, and use this information to make informed decisions that will reduce exposures to criteria and toxic air pollutants.

Key activities funded through this grant include: installing a permanent air monitoring site in the Port of Providence, conducting mobile air quality monitoring studies using real-time data acquisition tools and handheld equipment, purchasing air quality sensors to monitor emissions in areas of interest like schools, quarries, and asphalt plants, and evaluating hazardous air pollutant emissions from crematories through stack testing. The data collected will be used to inform inspections and compliance actions, as well as characterize emissions to support regulatory decision-making. Deliverables include compiling all air quality and meteorological data into an Excel database, making sensor data available in real-time, and producing final reports summarizing the project findings and lessons learned.
