[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exercise induced asthma I have it and humidity is the worst! I was a college soccer player [/quote] Exacerbated by artificial turf. Get her an inhaler. [/quote] And a surgical mask while you are at it. Gotta love the high cancer risk of these "awesome" turf fields. [/quote] A 2010 report by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery said that toxins, including lead and other heavy metals, are “below the level of detection. … No public health concern was identified.” Other studies from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the New York Department of Health and UC Berkeley have found toxicity levels on crumb-rubber fields either negligible or so low they don’t present any health concern. [/quote] But it is significantly warmer than grass on a day like yesterday. That exacerbates my child's asthma. I am suspect of that report, since you can sometimes smell the materials.[/quote]
