[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so upset to read this. I had no idea about turf fields and my son just began playing twice per week for this fall on a turf field. Im going to have such anxiety over this :([/quote] Channel your anxiety into figuring out the type of field. If it is crumb rubber you have reason to worry. If it is organic or new polymer infill you are fine. [/quote] Artificial turf are heat islands. They get up to 150 degrees. The infill MCPS is using now will actually make the fields hotter. Children are still getting burned and heat exhaustion on these fields, regardless of the infill. The student public comment was not about crumb rubber. It was about sand and zeolite (kitty litter) being experimented with as infill. [/quote]
