[quote=Anonymous][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.

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.

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]

Agree

They increase in blood cancers, especially in soccer goalies, leads me to believe the vague reports are not always correct. The chemicals smell, they tear up, and it makes the temperature 5-12 degrees hotter than grass.  Not fun[/quote]
