Winchester, MA – Over the last 18 months, synthetic turf has been subject to a barrage of attacks from opponents in pockets of the country as questions are being asked about the product’s safety. Despite science that suggests otherwise, the press headlines scream the word “concerns” — and frankly that fact is concerning.
Who holds these concerns? Largely parents, local legislators often pressured by parents, and to be fair certain members of the medical community. And what are those concerns? That the product itself contains lead or other carcinogens that can be ingested by our children. And that there has not been enough research on the subject to determine otherwise.
West of Brooklyn movies Moratoriums on the installation of turf have been bandied about, but not put in effect. Though the product is awfully close to bucking the innocent until proven guilty approach we stake our legal system on.
War, Inc. download Jackie Brown video These groups absolutely should ask questions about the products that compose the field. They should also appreciate answers derived from science-based research that have shown those products present no health issues to those that play on the field. The turf fibers (lead-free on newer fields) do not leach and the crumb-rubber infill is neither ingestible nor inhalable. Any suggestion otherwise is unproven and not in line with a strong body of evidence suggesting safety.
Questions about turf safety are not new phenomena to Massachusetts and even more broadly to the United States. New Jersey and New York cycled through the concerns and questions and arrived at a let them play stance (the fields are not a health risk).
Other states, including California and Connecticut, are currently testing as well, and we are confident will arrive at similar conclusions. Even before questions/concerns in this country came to light, Europe had already answered them.
Matchstick Men download Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies movie An early convert to artificial turf fields, Europe sought to determine answers around lead levels, availability, and of course health risk. The studies can easily be accessed via an Internet search, but governments from Sweden to Switzerland found there was no health risk from artificial turf. They have been supported in this early conclusion by more recent findings from the Consumer Product Safety Commission Jack-O buy who weighed in last year.

Volumes of research and testing from academia, to federal and state governments, departments of environmental protection, school systems, etc. have examined everything called to question: the turf fibers, the crumb rubber infill, the colored fibers/multiple areas of the field, whether components of the product leach into water, how prevalent and accessible are they in the ambient air above and around the fields, etc. The conclusions in nearly every case suggested turf poses no health risks. One has to wonder that with all its fertilizers and pesticides, under similar scrutiny would natural grass fare as well?
Evilenko And frankly these health concerns, which largely live on because of a view that there is not enough research out there, overlook the proven benefits of turf. These include savings on water, herbicide use and maintenance that ironically (to opponents of turf) make artificial turf a very friendly product to our environment. Other benefits include dollars saved over the long haul, when you look at maintenance costs. And most importantly turf allows for unparalleled playability — allowing for sports to be played all year round and under virtually any conditions.

As the industry leader, we are committed to player safety as defined by physical injury and health risk and have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on product testing to that end.

Simply put, since the industry’s early installs 15 years ago, no illness has ever been shown to be related to play on artificial turf.
With hundreds upon hundreds of studies from academia, federal and state government entities, school systems, environmental engineers etc. nearly all concluding at a minimum that turf is highly unlikely to pose any health risk, the ultimate question however is when and how much evidence needs to be in place for turf to get a clean bill of health.

JAMES CITY — For many people the next quarterly water bill will be two or three times more than normal, the price of maintaining irrigated lawns.
But not for Steve Rosen of Chisel Run, who just replaced his front lawn with the latest generation of artificial turf.
“Being from New York City, what do I know about it?” he said of his lawn skills. “Then, over the years, I didn’t do anything about it. It started looking pretty bad.”
His timing is propitious, since JCSA’s water draw topped 6.5 million gallons Tuesday with the start of summer watering season.
Watering, fertilizing, seeding, weeding became an annual struggle for Rosen, a printing salesman. Fortunately, the neighborhood association hires someone to cut everyone’s grass.
When he heard consumer advocate Clark Howard talk on his radio show about synthetic turf, it clicked. Rosen hired Richard Sacks of Stingray Construction for installation. It looks more realistic than Astroturf, and one can’t tell it’s fake by driving by. Ironically, it will be more noticeable when the summer drought wipes out other lawns.
An installation job that Rosen thought would cost $3,000-$5,000 ended up less. That puts the effortless sod right in the price range of a typical irrigation system and could prove downright economical as yearly maintenance costs disappear.
The turf also comes with a 10-year warranty, Rosen said. It’s UV-resistant and is cleaned by either vacuuming or sweeping. Some types come with fake weeds for added realism.
“There are a lot of positive things about it,” he said. “I’m sure people can find negatives, but all I’m concerned about is that it looks good and saves water.”
In fact, while JCSA’s rebate program for water-saving measures is considered cutting-edge in Virginia, localities on the West Coast offer incentives for fake turf.
In Southern California, the base rebate is 30 cents per square foot. In water-strapped Nevada, rebates run up to $1 per square foot.
JCSA manager Larry Foster said he’s willing to consider rebates, noting that water usage doubles during the summer, even with mandatory watering restrictions in place. In March, customers were drawing just 3.5 million gallons a day.
Rosen’s yard also reduces by one 190-square-foot lawn the amount of nitrogen-rich fertilizer, pesticide and herbicide that runs into the water system.
There may be a trade-off. Some systems are pervious, meaning that they allow water to infiltrate into the soil rather than running off site. Others aren’t.

Warhill Sports Complex’s six synthetic-covered fields have underground drainage and a sand base, said environmental director Scott Thomas. “So much depends on where it is,” he added.
chase the divx online Smashing Time ipod Red Sonja release Fake greens are naturally anathema to homeowners associations, and gated communities may be particularly resistant for aesthetic reasons. Rosen had to get special permission from Chisel Run.
Certain Ford’s Colony neighborhoods forbid fake lawns, said Realtec Community Services president Drew Mulhare. In other sections, residents would have to apply for a blessing.
Similarly, in Kingsmill the association’s Environmental Protection Board reviews all significant property changes, managing director Robin Carson said.
In Chisel Run, Rosen said his neighbors are fine with it. “They thought it was sod. They couldn’t believe it.”

By ELLYN PAK
Fountain Valley residents will soon be allowed to install fake grass in their front yards.
City officials on Tuesday night approved a change to an ordinance that forbade residents from installing artificial turf.

Andy Perea, the city’s planning director, said lifting the ban would decrease residential water consumption during a statewide water crisis. Allowing residents to install the turf would curb urban runoff and also reduce the amount of green waste that end up in landfills.
The Sting II movie download About 750 square feet of synthetic turf in a residential yard can conserve about 22,000 gallons of water per year and cuts down on urban runoff, according to city planners.
In addition, aesthetic should not be the sole reason why synthetic turf should be banned from use, planners say. Modern turf surfaces have evolved since they were first developed decades ago to cover sports fields.
Misery movie download The city considered the issue in October after several residents inquired about the Municipal Water District of Orange County’s offer to provide a 30-cent-per-square-foot rebate to homeowners who install artificial turf.

City officials tabled the decision back then after raising concerns about the safety
and aesthetics of fake grass and seeking more information about the pros and cons of installing artificial turf.
Orange County cities that ban the use of synthetic turf include Costa Mesa, La Palma, Orange, Santa Ana and Stanton. Neighboring city Garden Grove allows turf only in single-family residential zones.
Officials are expected to finalize the changes at a June 16 meeting.
