Envisioning Research in Baybrook

As I learn more about the area of Baybrook I become interested in the history of the area.  However, I am also interested in the things affecting the area. I think looking into what is causing pollution in the area is where I envision my research topic.  I would like to focus on the incinerators in the surrounding areas or find out more about the dumping and waste issues.

We were handed a 1945 newspaper from the Baltimore Sun Thursday in class. As I read these articles of the pollution from the plants, I became concerned for the people who lived in this area. I wondered what happened after this article arose in the Baltimore Sun. Reading the article made me want to explore the history of these events to see what has been done, but also to look now and see the dangers that may be prevalent in the community today. I think by exploring either the incinerators or the dumping and waste issues I will have a better idea as to what the dangers are and even possibly how to start changing them.
