A hundred football clubs in Holland have stopped using artificial grass pitches made from rubber crumb from broken down car tyres because of health concerns. Authorities in the EU and the US have launched studies into fears that the covering for football pitches and playgrounds might be carcinogenic. Professor Andrew Watterson from the University of Stirling is taking part in the research and talks to Winifred Robinson about what the findings have shown so far. First broadcast on You & Yours, 14 November 2016.
