Reading this article several goalies grew up in NW Washington playing on Turf surfaces, so watering down the field should prove not good enough since Washington is a rainy state. -

I would think that including football players into the analysis that she has done on goalies, would be helpful. Clearly that is not a study, but football players roll around an awful lot on turf and it's not limited to one position. And you need to compare goalies and football players who play on grass to those that play on turf to see if there is any coorelation to the turf potentially being a cause. Based upon what I see so far, I think it's more of an unfortunate coincidence than a potential cause.Comment

Agree, football players have much more contact with turf between games and practices. Your not hearing about those players. I think it's also an unfortunate coincidence.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Nothing wrong with watching and doing some studies on it, but I would have to agree that it is still inconclusive at best. Bigger study, both sexes, and would like to see ages.Comment

Haha. All it says in that article is that the people selling it to them said it was safe.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
The fact that playing surfaces used primarily for children, which are made from well known carcinogens, have not been adequately tested before being rolled out all over the country is ludicrous.
The burden of proof should lie with manufacturers before they start selling what is at first glance an obviously risky product for kids. This is exactly the kind of dangerous manufacturing we ridicule China for.Comment

Except they would paint the pellets white to reflect the long wave radiation from the sun using lead based paint.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Well if the completely unbiased Synthetic Turf Council says it's cool...Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

There are no unbiased studies these days. Every study is funded by someone with a vested interest, either directly or indirectly. Hence all the bad "science" related to climate change.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Consider ....
NIKE has a product to replace the ground up tires with ground up old soles of its running shoes. The old shoe material has been tested and is considered non-toxic to humans. Old tire material in some tests is toxic to humans. Probably some reader knows of a local field being installed now using the NIKE material.Comment
