The most major of the changes performed on this upload has been the systematic enhancement of the Sample Maps section of the GIS Mapping Desktop branch. This section now contains sample thumbnails of maps as well as valuable metadata detailing where the information came and a history of modifications and corrections made to each map (where applicable) along with the map maker's notes. The PDF versions of the maps and related reference materials are still available for viewing and downloading by clicking on the image thumbnail. Added images requested for the Keeping Brownfields Clean Initiative page. Made a small addition to the Press Advisories section by adding an important press release regarding the Harlem Asthma study which confirms WE ACT's claim.
