Fielding questions
Some news stories just leave me skeptical. The recent investigations about lead in AstroTurf is a case in point.
On the one hand, I don't trust the government to look honestly into the safety of AstroTurf. Not with who know how many public schools on the hook to replace the stuff if it were dangerous.
On the other hand, I question whether this might not be a tempest in a teapot. After all, it's not like people are eating the stuff. You walk or run on it, wearing shoes typically. Isn't it possible, even if there is lead in the stuff, that it still might not be worth the expense to remove it?
