Nitrosaminen uit rubbergranulaat

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: RIVM cooperated with HGM, the Municipal Health Service for Gelderland (a\nprovince in the Netherlands) in a study to measure nitrosamines in the\nair above synthetic grass playing fields. HGM had commissioned this\nstudy to ascertain if nitrosamines present in rubber granulate could pose\na risk for sportsmen and -women. Measurements were taken at heights of\n30 and 100 cm above four football fields located in Arnhem in the\nNetherlands. In none of the four football fields was there evidence of\nnitrosamines in the air above the field. Additional laboratory tests\nshowed that nitrosamines could be set free from the material, but in\nsmall amounts only. Therefore RIVM can conclude that nitrosamines do not\npose a health risk to users of these synthetic grass football\nfields.
