I found living near a concentration of carbon monoxide completely
unacceptable
and my concern is particularly for any children that may live there. You're
right,
I don't know the site but I'm familiar with the risks. Health comes first and
as a
concerned person I felt (and feel) the need to speak out about potential
dangers.
I appreciate the frustration of a long search but that shouldn't be a reason
for
compromising too much.  At the least have an air quality check done.

Noise (white or any other flavour) induces stress and if people are
susceptible then they should think twice.
I stand by what I said before. To me, a site so close to noise and pollution
is really questionable.
