incidence of head injuries in soccer and football. Studies do show athletes are more likely to <br /> sustain a head injury,which could have negative long-term health effects,than contracting <br /> cancer from crumb rubber. <br /> We need to base decisions upon data and evidence. There is no scientific evidence supporting <br /> the claim that crumb rubber causes cancer in athletes. All claims have included anecdotal <br /> evidence. Because there is no scientific evidence to support the cancer claims,the City of <br /> Everett should proceed with the installation of crumb rubber artificial turf fields at Kasch Park. <br /> These upgraded fields will provide a safer playing surface for the young athletes of Everett. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> r l o4(y ?,94' <br /> Robert Polk <br /> Director <br /> Athletics,Activities, Health&Fitness <br /> rpolk@everettsd.org <br /> 425-385-426o <br />
