Hi! We're thinking of buying a house opposite a petrol station (it's set back from the road behind trees). We are not concerned about the noise, however, I have found a few articles online about benzene levels in the atmosphere near petrol stations and how this can cause cancer, especially in children. My husband says the articles are scaremongering and we can't find any scientific studies that have been carried out. Also, if it were true, wouldn't we hear more about it in the media? Any feedback gratefully received. Thanks!
