Media coverage in DC on plastic fields and rubberized playgrounds (PIP). Field failures, burns, breaks, and more! Links to individual stories in this extensive thread. Photo credit @DCDGS spreading actual tons of synthetic pellets that will end up in lungs, mouths, + waterways. 9/17 “There's no disclosure. There's no waiver. There is no consent. There is no knowledge...parents are uninformed. They assume that if it is in their children's field in a public school somebody has tested..That's not the case.” @MikeQReports @wusa9 wusa9.com/news/local/dc/…

At Maryland Senate hearing on SB 763, someone stated that the synthetic turf field failure in Montgomery County was a one-off. The following tweets are a PARTIAL list of field failures. He didn't fact check! @arunamiller @RogerManno to share w/your colleagues! You're HEROES! Life-cycle of a Synthetic Turf Field
