| On the Cover | The Centerville Elks football team practices on a newly laid synthetic turf field, 30 August 2006. This Ohio high school is one of a growing number of schools, municipalities, and professional sports clubs replacing natural grass with synthetic turf. The artificial grass saves on chemical inputs, maintenance, and down time, but some are concerned that it may present its own environmental health complications, as described in this month’s Focus.
