[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am appalled that we are wasting this kind of money on fields that cause cancer.  The rise in soccer goalie blood cancers is not a coincidence.

So many over crowded schools and we are taking money from MSI for rubber fields on school grounds?  Pretty pathetic. [/quote]

Wow I hadn’t heard of this.  It’s really disturbing.

^^That article is from 2017. The materials used now are more natural. https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/athletics/programs/default.aspx?id=542923

[quote]New and replacement MCPS artificial turf projects will feature an organic infill material called clinoptilolite zeolite, which comes from rock sourced in Nevada.  This is the same organic, natural infill mix in use at the three newly installed (March 2018) artificial turf playing fields at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Montgomery County, as well as hundreds of other fields around the country.
