We are aware that synthetic turf sounds wonderful and very practical, especially during the drought we're <br /> having in California, but we are convinced that until we know more about the health risks it posses for our <br /> young children, we should err on the side of caution. In my opinion, we should at least wait with installing these <br /> type of fields until it is clear whether or not it is safe to do so. In the first article it clearly states that the EPA <br /> says there needs to be more testing to confirm safety - or danger - of this product. The NBC's report actually <br /> shows there has been NO study to show that use of this product is safe at all... <br /> We have added some links to several articles regarding this issue. Please read them and take the information to <br /> heart. Please put the health of our girls as the top priority of Rage and the development of sport in Pleasanton as <br /> a great second. As a parent, the anecdotal evidence is enough to ask you not to support artificial turf for our <br /> girls and have a wait-and-see approach regarding their health. The words of the industry itself are not <br /> comforting at all as we are very well aware their "invested interest" is very different from mine... <br /> http://www.infowars.com/dads-petition-seeks-to-ban-artificial-turf-sports-fields-over-reported- <br /> link-to-cancer/ <br /> http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Soccer-coach-Could-field-turf-be-causing-cancer- <br /> 259895701.htm1 <br /> http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/dai Iv-take/201410/synthetic-turf-giving-athletes-cancer- <br /> soccer-crumb-rubber-goal ie-fields <br /> http://www.soccerwire.com/news/col lege/does-artificial-turf-cause-cancer-nbc-news-alarming= <br /> report/ <br /> We will forward this email to the parents of my daughter's soccer team as well as to the <br /> Pleasanton City Council. <br /> Thank you for your time! <br /> Michael and Tiffany Siegling <br /> Click here to report this email as spam. <br /> 2 <br />
