3G ⚽️ PITCHES: HEALTH RISKS, ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE

Rubber crumb AFP risks children's health, environment, oceans.
Each pitch contains virgin plastic equal to 1.4M plastic bags, 20K tyres,120 tonnes rubber crumb.

ARE YOU A PARENT OF CHILDREN WHO PLAY ON 3G FOOTBALL PITCHES?

Both girls and boys are at risk.

If so, then please read this. It could save you and your family a lot of heartache.

So many years have gone by and we're now under a new government, but absolutely nothing has changed.

It seems that no-one in charge in all the organisations involved actually care about the youngsters who are exposed to the toxic chemicals in the rubber crumb infill in these money-making pitches.

I now have a very long list of children who have cancer, mainly academy goalkeepers, some have lost a leg or their lives and absolutely NO-ONE in charge cares. They held meetings and decided that it wasn't in the public interest to disclose the cancer risks!!!

ALL these organisations are responsible for every child who gets cancer after playing on these toxic pitches.

But they're raking in the many £$Billions and that is more important than the health and lives of the children who play on these pitches!

Unfortunately, very few media outlets are interested in publicising this so parents are unaware of the cancer risks. But cancer isn't the only health issue, other chemicals change your DNA for all future generations, shrink genitalia, damage sperm, affect male and female fertility, and, if pregnant, cross the placenta and harm the brains of unborn babies. More and more girls and young women are encouraged to play on these toxic pitches and they're completely unaware of these risks, especially important if they're pregnant or planning to get pregnant.

One day, public knowledge about this will become widespread and NO organisation involved can pretend that they don't know about the health issues, particularly the cancer risks, and the parents of the affected children will start litigation, as is already happening in the US.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR "SHOUTING" ON HERE BUT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN PLAY ON THIS TOXIC RUBBISH - UNLESS YOU DON'T MIND TAKING THE RISK THAT THEY COULD GET CANCER, LOSE A LEG OR THEIR LIVES

IF THEY DON'T PLAY FOOTBALL BUT THEIR SCHOOL HAS A 3G PITCH THEN THEY'RE RISKING THEIR LIVES WHILE AT SCHOOL - SPEAK TO HEAD - SAY YOU DON'T WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO BE ON THIS TOXIC RUBBISH - CONFIRM IN WRITING. IF THEY DON'T COMPLY AND YOUR CHILDREN GET ILL THEN YOU CAN SUE THEM FOR LACK OF DUTY OF CARE - BUT NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD EVER COMPENSATE YOU FOR YOUR CHILDREN GETTING CANCER, LOSING A LEG OR THEIR LIVES.

IF EVERY AFFECTED FAMILY SUED THEIR CHILDREN'S SCHOOL OR/AND FOOTBALL CLUB, THEN THEY'D ALL BE BANKRUPT IF THEY HAD APPLIED FOR THE PLANNING APPLICATIONS.

ARE YOUR CHILDREN PLAYING ON 3G RUBBER CRUMB FOOTBALL PITCHES?

Parents Need to Be Informed

Both girls and boys may be exposed to chemicals present in rubber crumb infill used on many artificial sports pitches.

If your child plays football, rugby, or takes part in other activities on 3G pitches, please take time to investigate the issue for yourself.

Why Are Some Parents Concerned?

Many parents, players, coaches and campaigners have raised concerns about:

• Possible exposure to potentially harmful chemicals found in recycled tyre rubber.

• Reports of cancer diagnoses among some young athletes, including goalkeepers who experience frequent contact with pitch surfaces.

• Chemicals associated with reproductive harm, hormonal disruption, fertility problems, genetic damage and developmental effects in unborn children.

• The lack of long-term independent research into repeated exposure experienced by children and young people.

Questions That Need Answers

❓ Are current safety assessments sufficient?

❓ Have parents been given all the information they need to make informed decisions?

❓ Should a precautionary approach be taken where children are concerned?

❓ Why are concerns raised by affected families often receiving limited media attention?

Growing International Concern

Legal actions relating to artificial turf and crumb rubber are already taking place in parts of the United States.

As public awareness grows, many parents are calling for greater transparency, independent research and full disclosure of potential health risks.

So no one will be watching the National homicide service? That’s exactly what this means and if the last almost 7 years has taught you anything… Getting away with it since 1948 should ring very clear in your ears.

"Scrapping a watchdog that helps patients raise concerns about their health care risks paving the way for another NHS scandal, critics have warned.

Alex Stewart, chief executive of Healthwatch Norfolk, which was set up to champion the views of patients, said dismantling the independent organisation could threaten public safety and scrutiny of the county's health systems.

A year ago, the then-health secretary Wes Streeting announced all Healthwatch organisations, including Norfolk's, would be axed as part of the government's 10-year plan for the NHS."

ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

Research by scientists at Arizona State University (commissioned by Friends of the Earth) detected engineered nanomaterials in popular U.S. infant formulas.

The more sharp, or edgy the nanomaterial is, the more toxic it becomes. In this case a very spikey needle like particle can wreak havoc on any biology it comes in contact with DIRECTLY, through physically puncturing, ripping and cutting.

Beware, everything has been infected
