To the Editor:
At the Martha’s Vineyard Commission meeting on March 4, toxicology was the focus. The MVC hired Horsley Witten, an environmental firm, to inspect the products used in the proposed turf field, the carpet, the underlying shock pad, and various glues used to build the field. Horsley Witten subcontracted the testing to a very well-respected laboratory, Tetra Tech. Both Horsley Witten and Tetra Tech concluded that the synthetic turf field was safe for our student athletes to come into contact with, and the products tested cleaner for the environment than the existing grass fields at the high school.
