Hello

I am Ted Henry, a toxicologist at the University of Maryland. Besides my
main work as a technical advisor for community groups regarding military
superfund sites, I donate time to active community members in South
Baltimore regarding the chemical, fertilizer and petroleum companies that
surround there small community. This is a site of an ecological
industrial park, an empowerment zone, etc. So, I have become interested
in the brownfields issue.

Needless to say it is very similar to my military work in the sense that
citizens want and need to participate, instead of being told what
has already been decided. I believe the brownfields arena will
provide just as many hurdles for local citizens as the military clean-up
arena, and probably more. So I am interested in helping where I can in
community efforts.
