Griffin collected names through personal experience with sick players, and acknowledges that her list is not a scientific data set. But it’s enough to make her ask whether crumb rubber artificial turf...is safe for the athletes and kids who play on it. That's all she's saying; doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Also, the Erin-Brockovich-was-wrong story is overly simplistic. Many epidemiology studies are inconclusive because of small sample sizes. What is known is that the chromium levels in some neighborhoods in Hinkley, California were hundreds or thousands of times the normal concentration, PG&E settled with the affected families for a nine-digit sum, and that the most-affected neighborhoods have been razed. http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2013/05/erin-brockovich-hinkley-california-junk-science http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2013/05/erin-brockovi...
