	I am researching the Boston Zoning Board of Appeal's decision to site
an asphalt plant in a low income neighborhood despite a groundswell of
opposition from residents and other city agencies, including the mayor's
environmental office.  I just spoke with the man who was the acting chairman
of the board at the time, and he said that two scientific reports had
convinced him that the emissions from the bituminous tar plant would not
significantly impact local air quality, nor pose any health threats, despite
residents concerns that the emissions could be carcinogenic.
	If you are a credible source on the health risks associated with
asphalt plant emissions I would like to interview you for my story.  I would
also like to talk with anyone about similar cases of alleged environmental
injustice, in order to give my story national scope. If you'd like to help, my
e-mail address is remro@bu.edu.
				Thanks!
