| The project was inspired by a documentary I watched 3 years ago about soccer players getting cancer in the Washington area which was linked to the crumb rubber infused artificial turf they were playing on . I plan on continuing my research on the effects of crumb rubber on the health of athletes playing on it. Also, I plan on continuing to elaborate my design for an indoor natural grass turf for our northern climate. I plan on including aspects that would include environmentally friendly ways to recycle water and use renewable energy to power instruments needed to maintain the field and cut cost down. I am hoping to build a miniature model of the field on my property in Prince George. Advice I would give to students thinking about doing a project would be that they choose a project that they are passionate about. I love soccer and I play on my high school team. My project is something that directly affects me and my team mates. |

This is an interesting topic because so many people play on artificial turf. This study will also help the community because upon research I have found that playing on artificial turf can cause some types of cancer. |
