How Do Gas Stations Affect the Environment?

CSEF · 2007 Earth & Planetary Sciences

Lora J. Roame · Rubidoux High School, Riverside, Riverside County

Overview

Objectives/Goals I am doing my project to see how gas stations affect the soil, and environment around them. I am also doing this to get a better understanding of the environmental problems caused by gas stations. Methods/Materials I used 8 soil test kits from my local garden store to test the soil around 3 different gas stations. Results My results were that the worst gas station soil was at the Circle K on Limonite and Clay street. I found that none of my samples from the gas stations where adequate enough to sustain healthy plant life. Conclusions/Discussion In conclusion, I have found that gas stations in my area do affect the soil quality, and overall stability, thus proving my hypothesis correct.

Summary statement

My project is about testing soil samples from various gas stations to record their affect on the surrounding environment.

Help received
