3G football pitches

Just want to bring to everyone's notice the dangers of 3G plastic football pitches. -Already banned in many areas of the USA and will soon be banned in the EU due to toxic chemicals associated with cancer clusters. The chemicals come from the rubber crumb on which the pitches are laid - the rubber crumb is basically ground up used car tyres. This is a brief report - look up professor Watterson's research if you want to know more:

Also this article from the Guardian:

An interesting read. It's not just children use these pitches.
