Lincoln Park Soccer Field Alleged to Be Toxic

ADVERTISEMENTS

Protect Our Parks, a not-for-profit corporation just filed a three-count lawsuit claiming a soccer field in the Chicago area of Lincoln Park is toxic because the field?s artificial turf contains lead. The field is located at 1840 N. Cannon Dr. The lawsuit claims lead is a toxic metal. Since children are particularly susceptible to lead?s toxic effect, the lead is all the more harmful. The suit seeks to stop the construction of the artificial field and order the removal of all artificial turf. The suit claims artificial turf, which is comprised of rubber tire crumbs, can cause serious health problems for children and adults when the chemical compounds are released into the air and ground water. It claims the Park District have failed to design a drainage system that protects Lake Michigan. The field lies adjacent to Lake Shore Drive, and is designed to drain and discharge all runoff directly into Lake Michigan without treatment or waste processing. To read the full story, click here.
