Wow. This showed how dumb and crazy the folks at Rose Hill are. They not only tried to stop the construction of Julius West but also tried to stop Einstein turf field as well. I’m truly surprised by the Rose Hill people’s lack of understanding of how local governments work, lack of common sense and preparation of the legal challenge of MCPS. They had a lawyer too.

MSI Soccer is certainly showing what hateful people they are. You would think when they have been piling up millions of dollars from their players and probably have millions more hidden away that they would be a little more adult in their online trolling.  Is soccer really such a hateful game that this is the mentality of the adults that run these leagues?[/quote]

I’m not part of MSI nor have any kids playing soccer for MSI, BSC or any clubs. I am a 40 year residence of Rockville and have attended grade school to HS in Rockville. My hate is not Rockville or MCPS. I actually love it here otherwise I would have moved already. My hate is towards the selfish folks at Rose Hill.

Rockville is no longer an isolated suburban city. Rockville residences have to recognize and accept that we are ever growing city. The city and its citizens are getting more prosperous every year. The city has to develop to grow. A turf field is part of that development.

There are no proven scientific/medical proof or evidence that turf fields cause cancer. Claiming cause cancer is similar to the crazy Hollywood folks that claim vaccinations causes mental disabilities.[/quote]

Artificial turf has nothing to do with the development of a city.

Silica sand is a known carcinogen.  [b]You really need to up your knowledge.  Where do you live that you don't have access to the Internet? Try a public library and do some research.[/b]

Crystalline silica has been classified as a human lung carcinogen. Additionally, breathing crystalline silica dust can cause silicosis, which in severe cases can be disabling, or even fatal.  The children using these fields will be inhaling silica sand.

OK I took your advice and did some research.  It is clear that you did not do yours.  Here's what I know based on what I found.

You are right -- crystalline silica is a carcinogen.  And that's where the accuracy of your research ends.

Please read below and then stop spreading lies.

THE TURF AT JWMS AND OTHER NEW FIELDS FOR MCPS DO NOT CONTAIN CRYSTALLINE SILICA.   The MCPS website specifies that the infill being used in the new turf fields is [b]clinoptilolite zeolite[/b].  See information about the new turf fields on the MCPS website here:  https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/athletics/programs/default.aspx?id=542923

To further debunk your claim that the infill contains silica, I found the manufacturer of zeolite infill's website, which clearly states that the infill does NOT contain silica.  To quote:

[quote]In 2013 ZeoFill was introduced to the sports field industry to avoid health concerns and label warnings pertaining to Proposition 65. [b]ZeoFill does not contain crystalline free silica[/b] (known to cause cancer or birth defects), therefore it is the preferred substrate. It also helps to naturally cool the surface of the field.[/quote]

Here is the website for ZeoFill https://www.kmizeolite.com/synthetic-turf/

So just to summarize:  THE NEW TURF FIELDS DO NOT CONTAIN THE MATERIAL SILICA.  STOP SPREADING LIES.
