Informing the public about 3G sports turf and the lack of research in rubber crumb used in it. keeping people updated on developments and trying to get answers.

A cover up????,
Now there’s a shock

"Health and sport officials have decided it is not in the public interest to disclose the health risks of 3G pitches"

@Against_3G @Matt5cott You need to send me a DM @Matt5cott so many problems with the investments made in grass roots football.

[Is3gsafe? @research1t]

@FootballFoundtn @PingleAcademy Is it safe though ????

Miami gets oil-based fake plastic grass on sidewalks of Brickell Avenue, covering up tree roots , stopping drainage, increasing surface temperatures by 20% and causing dog poop/urine to stink and stay. Thanks #Easygrass ! https://t.co/dsgIDSLDGK

@Komvandatgrasaf It’s amazing how many arsonists we must have in the UK. Must be horrible for the business or property owners but usually ends up helping them out in the long run.

[Is3gsafe? @research1t]

Well who would have thought that? All the old 3 G carpets gone up in smoke🤔 A bit like scrap yards when they get full or empty buildings when the planning application is turned down🙄
How long until the ‘storage’ field for old 3G turf in the UK goes up in smoke??????

The Netherlands wanted the strictest standard for synthetic turf grains. Nevertheless, it changed tack in Brussels. This appears from 1,000 pages of correspondence, reports and e-mails.

Don't forget the staff at schools and sports centres where there are 3G rubber crumb football pitches.

And the people in nearby homes.

Aren't there Duty of Care issues?

Before @talkSPORT @JimWhite @bobmillstt have an hour talking about how everyone has missed out on the Wembley deal this morning have a look at some of my tweets. Do we really want more 3G pitches?

What we don’t need @Matt5cott is 100’s of 3G pitches which the ‘experts’ can’t tell us if they are safe or not. No problems investing PROPERLY in grass pitches. £millions already wasted let’s not waste another £800 million

[Is3gsafe? @research1t]

@talkSPORT @GNev2 @Matt5cott Well done to @GNev2 someone actually prove 3G pitches are 100% safe first and not the new asbestos before wasting £100’s millions building more of them. The @Fa agreed 3Gpitches should have health warning signs round them over a year ago, seems someone forgot to put them up🤔

@Matt5cott @GNev2 3G a great idea @Matt5cott ???
Can anyone prove it’s 100% safe first?
No one had answered any questions ive asked

https://t.co/RX7l232DOK

Well done @GNev2

[Is3gsafe? @research1t]

Well done @GNev2 stopping them spending 100’s of millions of £’s on 3G pitches then having to dig them all up because someone finally decides to admit they may not be safe 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[Is3gsafe? @research1t]

@Matt5cott @GNev2 Well done @GNev2 much better to put a stop to all these 3G pitches now than have to dig them all up in s few years when someone eventually admits they may not be safe

[Is3gsafe? @research1t]

A pitch closed due to MRSA?
Is this just a one off?
I wonder if the @FA @appgsport @FootballFoundtn are having second thoughts about all the 3G surfaces installed?

[Is3gsafe? @research1t]

Not good reading once again about rubber crumb surfaces.

[European Chemicals Agency - ECHA 🇪🇺 @EU_ECHA]

Interesting articles by @ben_rumsby in The @Telegraph on rubber granules on artificial pitches.

As with all rubber crumb 3G pitches, back to contaminated waste. Hardly recycling is it? Just delaying it a few years

[Paula Bienenfeld @PBienenfeld]

How .@MontgomeryCoMD 'recycles' hazardous material crumb rubber turf fields. Lead, heavy metal, carcinogenic crumb all over the ground and left in dumpsters at Richard Montgomery HS. .@Against_3G .@shomaristone .@350MoCo

[Is3gsafe? @research1t]

Just wondering if @Health_Academy has put all the health and safety notices up round the pitches that the FA has forget to do for the last 12-18 months

[Is3gsafe? @research1t]

Is it just me that this doesn’t sit right with ?
