This has been a very hot topic of late so today we asked the FA direct about the subject. The following is a statement from an FA spokesperson.
“The numerous scientific studies conducted by government agencies around the world, and undertaken by independent experts have all validated the human health and environmental safety of 3G pitches and crumb rubber.
The FA adheres to the latest independent evidence which indicates that 3G pitches in the UK which are built to industry-standard specifications are safe.”
