Artificial Turf: 161 degrees F today at Blair...

Kathy Michaels of Safe, Healthy Playing Fields reports that today at the Montgomery Blair High School Artificial Turf (read: ground auto and tire crumb rubber material) temperatures were as follows:

Air Temperature: 98 degrees Fahrenheit
Grass Temperature in the Sun: 94 degrees Fahrenheit;
Asphalt (black) Temperature: 120 degrees Fahrenheit;
Asphalt (white) Temperature: 115 degrees Fahrenheit; and, wait for it...
Artificial Turf Temperature: 161 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thanks Kathy and thanks to the Safe, Healthy Playing Fields group for monitoring these unhealthy surfaces.
