Ušaka laukumiņi protams ir atraktīvi, un mēs gaidījām Baronielas mega laukumu, bet siltajā saulē tie smird pec gumijas un karsta asfalta. tā ka man pēc pusstundas jau ir dulla galva, un es nejūtos ok tur laist bēbi.
M.Zālītei bija atsevišķas nodaļas par puķudobēm, kas apstādītas traktoru riepām. tagad mums ir samačkātu riepu klājumu lauki pilsētas pagalmos.



Studies have identified 49 different compounds in shredded tire mulch, including heavy metals, VOCs, phthalates, PAHs, carcinogens, developmental toxicants, endocrine disruptors, reproductive toxicants, respiratory toxicants, allergens, skin and eye irritants, and corrosives.

We understand that some studies have shown that the individual compounds are “below levels of concern,” however, there is no way to prove that repeated exposure by young children to the combination of these chemicals is safe.
We see babies crawling in the tire shreds, putting them in their mouths, children rolling in them and burying each other, kids eating after playing with it. Chemicals are potentially being absorbed through the skin, inhaled, and ingested.

According to Dr. Philip J. Landrigan, a nationally recognized expert on children’s health, and Joy E. Carlson in their paper Environmental Policy and Children’s Health, “Children are undergoing rapid growth and development, and their delicate developmental processes are easily disrupted…The nervous system is not well able to repair any structural damage that is caused by environmental toxins. Thus, if cells in the developing brain are destroyed by chemicals such as lead, mercury, or solvents, or if vital connections between nerve cells fail to form, there is high risk that the resulting neurobehavioral dysfunction will be permanent and irreversible.”
