[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think that anyone can say definitively that artificial turf of any type is safe. It's very hard to prove safety, particularly on a relatively new product. There are no standards that I know of. "Organic" in this context does not mean much (unlike in food, for which the term is regulated). Crude oil is "organic."[/quote] Nobody can say definitively that ANYTHING is safe.[/quote] But you know what they can do? They can measure the HEAT generated by a grass field and compare it to a PLASTIC field. It's called science. And based on the known data, the artificial turf fields run up to 150+ degrees on a warm day. BCC HS field - August 6th: Air temp ~90 degrees Grass temp ~ 92 degrees Artificial turf temp ~135+ degrees August 20th: Artificial turf temp ~ 151 degrees [/img]https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10157488956873926&set=pb.594928925.-2207520000.1567773163.&type=3&theater[img] [/quote]
