Numerous studies have highlighted the negative impacts of artificial turf. Artificial turf fields contain chemicals that can harm children through touch or inhalation. These chemicals also leach into the environment and pose risks to water quality and ecosystems.
Given the hospital's commitment to children's health and well-being, this support seems counterintuitive. It is concerning that Stanford Children's Hospital would support a practice that endangers the very children they are dedicated to serving.
Artificial turf are heat islands, leading to increased temperatures and air pollution. And it coats our Earth with nonrecyclable plastic.
I urge the hospital to reconsider its position and prioritize the long-term health and safety of our community.
