How Safe Is Artificial Turf? | msnbc
in 200 years.. people will laugh about how stupid we were to use these cancer fields
Or we will still be using it regardless because the industry has a lot of money to lobby and fund "scientific research" that supports their cause. Money always wins in this country. hopefully that changes
Watch a movie called Ideocracy.
I played soccer all my life. Just yesterday after playing on turf I woke up this morning coughing and I could feel there was crumb rubber in my body. Did I inhale it? Did I swallow it? I don't know. I just know it made me sick..I would stay away where possible...
This crap cuts you up so bad in football
Its really common, yet overlooked.
Also soccer I just finished defending in soccer, I did a couple of slide tackles and man my knees were all scratched up.
It's not the burns for me it's my knees that get screwed up.
lima bean i looked up ways to treat it and i find this
I prefer Truf, I may get cut up, but I least I want get Cancer from AG.
easy fix.... don't use tires. just make rubber specifically for the field
That's what I was thinking. I'm curious about how much the cost would go up, because crumb rubber from recycled tires is pretty cheap
Burning Hammer Studios After research being done, it was found that even if you ate a whole pint of the stuff all at once you'd be fine. Apart from the choking hazard...
Easy fix don’t let white people do anything because white are so extra
Or they could use dirt
My 22 year old son who was a soccer field player on both indoor and outdoor artificial turf fields since the age of 9 was just diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He is undergoing chemotherapy now and suffering from terrible side effects. He is at higher risk for health problems related to the lymphoma and chemotherapy for the rest of his life, provided that treatment is effective and his cancer goes into remission. There is a chance he may die if treatment is not effective or he may relapse with lymphoma or develop other cancers later in life.
We need to protect our kids from the likely health dangers of these fields and keep them off until the scientific studies about the effects of these chemicals on human bodies are known. Please speak up in your communities, advocate against the use of these fields and educate your state and government officials about the potential danger of artificial turf fields.
It turns out that artificial turf is made from old tires, and very bad chemicals are emitted which are causing leukemia and more. Also, the surface of turf apparently gets very hot, one measurement showed 200 degrees on a 98 degree day!
You need to use the study with the NFL and other American football participants to determine whether the turf is ok to use. Since they have a ton of power, it's up to them to decide not independent soccer associations to use artificial turf
ehyyyy, i thought your comment was mine, and i thought "i don't remember watching this video"
You may save water with the artificial turf but the chemicals and particles that seep to the ground from it poisons the surface and ground water.
Neymar likes to roll on the ground a lot does that mean he has a good chance of getting cancer?
David Gheorghiu They play on real grass...Do your research before trying to be funny.
He gets to play on real grass.
Well, before this video I was excited for my schools new Astro turf field
Artificial turf has been calibrated at 40% HOTTER subsurface and radiation of heat than bitumen under the same conditions.
Notice the "expert" sits on the artificial turf board. Something's rotten in Denmark
Turf tears up soccer cleats like it’s nothing
After research being done, it was found that even if you ate a whole pint of the stuff all at once you'd be fine. Apart from the choking hazard...
can i read this research?
Still nothing done 2023
Where my wide receivers at? First day at camp it looks like I've been attacked by a lion.
I know
i am a goalkeeper and i am scared now
Remember they said smoking was safe and Dr. even told pepole to smoke to help for diffrent things.
They have got much better now
Explain to me why NFL players aren't dropping like flies then. Those guys spend an immense amount of time with their faces in turf.
You just said it, NFL, the NFL has a players' union. Changes everything.
They don't use that kind of turf
The dose makes the poison. And is cumulative. The soccer goalies are the proverbial canaries on the tire crumb field. Diving into it over and over. NFL players hate what it does to their bodies and the damage it does to their joints. Baltimore Ravens have gone back to grass as have other NFL teams and Universities.
Lol what???? This is so weird how does turf hurt you
A, and you would think that football players that played 30 years in truf they would also have cancer
A massive public information campaign is needed immediately. Cancer fields for our children are becoming more and more prevalent. If all you have is a suspicion that this is cancerous, isn't that enough for parents to become motivated to act against their schools and communities installing these fields? Why do you allow your kids to play on these surfaces?

Why can't the University buy a better field?
Artificial turf should be banned

🤔 is it The same in EU. I dont know.
Ban mc Donalds then
Turf is safe. Use rubber from raw material and don’t try to be environmentally friendly and recycle tires for this use.
Also you can fill it with cork instead of rubber.
It's not becuase they dont and they won't replace their investment unless forced to and there aren't laws so no one would ever install them so they are absolutely not safe
Not ture defenders have to slide on turf multiple times I brun my leg with turf more then 30 times and I haven't developed cancer.
