During their research into a proposal to build a gas station near their homes, Denver area residents came across the CEDS How To Stop Poorly-Planned Gas Stations & Convenience Stores webpage: https://ceds.org/gasstation/. This webpage included a summary and links to scientific studies indicating that gas station benzene emissions could jeopardize the health of those living, learning, or working within a thousand feet. The webpage also described other potential gas station-convenience store impacts such as increased crime associated with alcohol sales and childhood obesity due to junk food sales.
