it's affected atlantic states as far south as north carolina because, as you know, these fires lost tremendousmounts of what they call fine particulates into the atmosphere. and those fine particulates exacerbate asthma hand other respiratory conditions, increase the risk of diseases like lung cancer. in a nutshell, bad air equals bad health, and we are getting bad air from these fires. and, of course, forest fires aren't the only way that climate change degrades rhode island's air quality. you just make the air warmer, which global warming is doing, and hotter temperatures help form more ozone. ozone, as we know, is dangerous for children and the elderly and anybody with a respiratory condition, and one in ten rhode islanders has asthma. our air quality receives a grade of c from the american lug association, largely from forces out of of our control, out-of-state sources, and ozone coming in from upwind states. this is not just an inconvenience. across the country, air pollution, much of it made worse by climate change, causes a staggering 200,000 premature deaths each year. why should rhode
