Cancer risk: don't lie down/stretch on artificial turf infields with crumb rubber pellets

I wonder if car tire installers also have a higher risk for cancer. Seems like if they did, we would know that rubber causes cancer.

They should replace those little pellets with asbestos. They will last much longer.

All the residue from the millions of tires per year worn down on the roads?

Sssh! That's "background" cancer. Just like where did almost 100 years of lead from leaded gasoline emissions "go"?

Yeah, but it has to do with the chemicals in the ground up recycled rubbers, which are in huge quantities with a lot more surface area of exposure on these fields, and being heated up by the sun, unlike that of solid tires being installed in the garage :Chemicals found in recycled rubber “include heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, cadmium and nickel, volatile organic compounds such as benzene, and polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons,” Peterson wrote in an email, “but it is critical to examine these using context – since for example, the amount of PAHs in recycled rubber is generally similar to that in natural soil, or grilled foods like steak or chicken.”PAHs are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which Mr. Peterson, the expert who is a consultant retained by the Recycled Rubber Council, defends as at normal levels as that found in natural soil. He does not, however, say anything regarding all those other chemicals.

Wow, first of all I usually ignore HuffPo articles, but I take my brother's six year old to soccer on Saturday mornings and the place the kids often play on looks alot like the field in the article, green turf/fake grass mixed with black rubber shavings (he also plays on normal fields but it is often to wet and muddy). A bit of a worry.

Frontline did an excellent documentary on the subject. It's available on Youtube.

What about asphalt roads?

Just don't eat the rubber pellets or lick any roads.

EOT

No so simple. Fumes, man, fumes.

300m Indoor tracks. The Dempsey at UW smells like a tire shop.

Cancer is often unpredictable, but there are things everyone can do to help reduce their cancer risk or improve their chances of beating the disease and boost your chances of living a longer, healthier life. One of my friends recommended me to browse around here http://www.advancedradiationcenters.com/technologies/trilogy-radiosurgery/, where one can get the cancer treatment from professional oncologist, they use modern technologies like IGRT, IMRT and radio surgery to cure the cancer.

Dude, you do know that using message boards for link building doesn't help your Google ranking at all, right?
