[quote=Anonymous]The crumb tire rubber is nasty stuff. Organic infill is now an option but it is getting adopted very slowly. The increased cancer risk (probably minor increase but I believe it) is only one problem. The field surface absorbs heat and gets extremely and unsafely hot on hot sunny days. Who knows what fumes are coming off that stuff on a hot day. I do understand that replacing turf fields is not a big budget priority. The local governments seem to really let the fields go past their maintenance and replacement dates. There are some local fields that look mostly black with the green turf worn out and bunches of crumb rubber getting tossed up. The youth soccer community should kick in some money for earlier turf field replacement.[/quote]
