44 Synthetic Turf Toxicological Review - Human Health & Environmental LITERATURE REVIEW Task objective - Review and evaluate the available literature to determine if there is the potential for risk of harm to human health and/or the environment as related to exposure to synthetic turf. 3 phase method was used : Tier I : search Tier II: screening Tier III: thorough evaluation Our findings were similar to the reports by CPSC and EPA, which suggest no human health or environmental concern with the crumb rubber infill material, but does not take into account heat or filtration.

45 Sports Lighting Upgrade Positive of Fixture Replacement Energy Consumption Reduced Over 50% Light Quality Improved Angle and Spill Control Improved Controls for Each Field and Ice Rink; Saving More Energy of the Existing System Negatives Cost Installed Estimated Quote $145,000 -$160,000
