| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses synthetic playing surfaces and their potential toxicity. States that "the Synthetic Turf Council (STC) released a report on April 21 [2008]," reporting that "there is no scientific evidence of a health risk for children or adults based on...test results and...knowledge of the chemical structure of aged synthetic turf products." Highlights lead as a potential toxic agent in synthetic turf, suggesting that "lead does not leach from synthetic turf." Briefly profiles the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) and its lead legislation. |
