It’s a Gas, Gas, Gas?

Colonia High School, an area of high brain-cancer rates, is downwind and within 600′ of two gas stations(some local homes are even closer!), and the Garden State Parkway. The school is within an area of high air pollution/particulate and will see exposure to increased Benzene and other hazardous air pollution emissions. Look for the military-industrial complex to search for other less likely causes to deflect culpability.
