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@wusa9wusa9.com/news/local/dc/…
